Huntington story

Living in Barstow California, 53 year old Janice Jone's dog knocked her gun off a carseat. The weapon discharged when it hit the floor. This all happened around 10 p.m on a Wednesday according to California Highway Patrol press liaison Tammy Rye.

Jones was eating pork chops in the back of her motor home, which was parked on Beach Boulevard near Highway 1, when the events happened. When the weapon discharged and hit the floor, the bullet passed through Jone's leg and through the side of the vehicle. 
" It could have been worse," Rye comments. "The bullet hit two inches from the gas tank." 

Jones was cited for expired plates and the county's district attorney's office was considering whether to charge her in relation to the gun accident.
" Jones doesn't have a permit for the gun," Rye mentions.

Jones was transported to Huntington Beach Hospital via ambulance and later was transported to Irvine Medical Center
"Jones was shot in the right leg around ten at night," reported Rye. This was also confirmed by Jim Washington, a spokesman for Huntington Beach Hospital.

Jone's dog, a Pomeranian named Tombo, was placed in the care of the Huntington Beach Animal Control officers. 
"The dog seemed to be malnourished," recorded Janet Ngo, one of the animal control officers. 

The dog also had fresh cigarette burns on its forehead. Ngo indicated that her office would explore filing animal abuse charges against Jones. 
" It could have done with a little less abuse and a few more of those pork chops," Ngo said.
