Shoots Her With Shotgun
A Pennsylvania girl in costume was shot by a relative after he reportedly thought she was a skunk.
A 9-year-old girl was shot outside a Halloween party Saturday night in Western Pennsylvania, taking a bullet to the shoulder from a male relative who mistook her for a skunk.
The condition of the girl wasn’t released Sunday, but police in rural New Sewickley Township said she was alert and talking as she was flown to a hospital in Pittsburgh, 30 miles away.
Neither the girl nor her relative was identified.
She was spotted on a hillside around 8:30 p.m. wearing a black costume and black hat with a white tassel, according to the Beaver County Times. The relative who accidentally injured her was carrying a shotgun.
Police Chief Ronald Leindecker said the man wasn’t under the influence of alcohol, and was unsure whether he would be charged.
The Beaver County District Attorney’s Office will review the case.

Sometimes when you really put effort into making your Halloween costume realistic, you get compliments. "Wow, you really look like (blank)!" people might say. But other times, you might do too good of a job, and get mistaken for the real thing by a relative, who will then shoot you with a shotgun.
