Wisconsin Woman Shoots Man While Using Gun to Play With Cat

In Kenosha, Wisconsin, you'll find the Outta Sigh Kite Flight, Cheese-A-Palooza, and Tribute Island, a three day music fest featuring tribute bands from the Midwest. And a dough-head who doesn't know you don't play with guns.

The 19-year-old (technically, that's old enough to know better), was playing with the cat. You know how cats love chasing and pouncing on little red lights...so that's what she was doing. Where'd the red light come from?

The laser sight on the handgun. I said the laser site on the HANDGUN.

She Learned the Hard Way A Gun Is Not A Toy

According to ABC News, the woman was "visiting an apartment on Tuesday where a 21-year-old man had brought a handgun."

Police reports say she had been drinking, and, wanting to play with the cat, took the handgun, “turned on the laser sight and was pointing it at the floor to get the cat to chase it...” and that's when the gun discharged, the police complaint that was filed Thursday stated.

The shot went into the 21-year-old man's thigh. He left and went to another apartment.
By the time police got there, they found the man, put on a tourniquet, and then taken to the hospital. He's facing charges because his bond conditions say he can't have a weapon. No news on his condition or what crime he's been bonded out on.

The complaint says the woman didn't check, but thought the magazine had been removed from the gun and said it went off "accidentally." I'm sure it's a traumatic situation that's bringing a lot of unwanted attention. 

It's also a situation that screams, "This is why gun safety is so important."
