9 year old girl shot, mistaken for a skunk. October 22, 2012 8:28 am bowser

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/10/21/14598776-9-year-old-girl-shot-after-relative-mistakes-her-for-skunk?lite

“A 9-year-old Pennsylvania girl was shot in the shoulder with a shotgun at a Halloween party Saturday evening by a relative who mistook her for a skunk, a Beaver County dispatcher confirmed to NBC News.”

Now the girl survived, which is good.  And a mitigating circumstance is that she was wearing a Halloween costume with some black and a white tassel.

However, that must be one poor little girl or they grow some good stuff in Pennsylvania.  How does one mistake a little girl for a skunk?  How would one explain that to the police.

“Well, officer, I thought she was a skunk.  We have a real problem with skunks around here and some of them get really big.  Have white pony-tails, even.  Rare up on two legs.  And, seriously, she smells bad.  I would have bet three of those pickups in back she was the mother of all skunks, and I thought I’d even get a re-ward.  Boy, howdy, I’m gonna have to cut back on some of this shit!”

Poor girl, scarred for life.  ”Gee, Harriet, what’s that scar on your shoulder?”  ”My cousin Haven thought I was a skunk and shot me.  Said I was a good-lookin’ skunk, though, for a skunk.”

Sad story.
