Oklahoma woman shot in the leg after a Labrador retriever stepped on a loaded gun.

Police officers from the Enid Police Department were dispatched to North 10th Street after dispatchers received a 911 call stating that the lab, named Molly, had caused the gun to discharge a bullet into the passenger's left thigh, according to a police report.

The driver told the officers that the trio were heading to see his brother when Molly jumped from the backseat onto the center console, causing his .22-caliber Ruger pistol to fire, according to the report. The 44-year-old woman can be heard complaining in the background as the man placed a 911 call to request an ambulance.The man told emergency dispatchers that she was"bleeding pretty bad" before they instructed him to use his belt as a tourniquet. He then tied it above the wound to cut off circulation, according to the 911 call.As they waited for the ambulance, the man could be heard admonishing the Labrador.

Is this one of those firearms do not kill, it is the shooter?

The headline should’ve said, “woman, shot in leg by dog.” It would’ve sounded a lot more interesting.

Back in the day , we wa as taught if the gun is loaded you had the safety on ... but today's responsible know so much more , than we did

So the gun was just lying there on a seat or floor? Sounds like responsible gun ownership

😆 I'm loving these comments. Please, continue.

Did the dig suffer hearing damage? shock? Why was the gun liaded unsecured? As usual karma strikes...

She lien...she shot herself....blame it on the dog

Did anyone give him treats for being a good dog?

Guns don't shoot people only bad dogs do.

Ok your a Good Dog, we are not going to the vet..Now put the gun down.

OMG LabradorRetrieverControlNow 😥😭😭😭 .. lol

Who’s a bad boy?

'Good boy' with a gun

Book him Danno,

All these tweets should be sent to the NRA and the GOP.

30 Rock predicted this

Hope the dog is ok.

Guns don't kill people, dogs with guns kill people. Lol

That's it enough is enough. We need common sense dog control.

Setup by a cat.

“Next time, I’ll aim higher” 🐶

MSMWatchdog2013 Didn't the NRA and their supporters claimed only criminals uses firearms to injure and kill people?

Well what did she do?

Poor doggy, hope his paws are ok.

Doesn’t sound right to me.

Need a good dog with a gun?

Must have overhead them discussing having him neutered. 🤣🤣

Guns aren’t the problem. Dogs are the problem.

So is this a Good Boy with a gun?!?!

Hahahaha hahahaha

Guns don't kill people... dogs do

Life goes on.

Did Tina Fey write this plot?

Still a good boy, idgaf

I was so mad when I read this! The dog could’ve gotten hurt!

I can't stop laughing!

Even a dog accidently shooting someone gets more mainstream media attention that the bloodbaths in Chicago and Baltimore.

My heart (actually her leg) bleeds.

Is this his mug shot? It’s the humans fault!

😂😂

Better her than the dog. Gun ownership is not rocket science....keep guns in locked cases.

Isn't that a country song?

If only she had a gun to protect herself

Every labrador should be armed. How else can they defend themselves from the alsations with AR15's

Another responsible gun owner. 🙄

You could practice this a hundred times and never get it right.

Everyone should be required to take a course on gun safety in order to have one in their home or their vehicle

It was a white dog. Stand your ground and the castle doctrine will protect him. WhosAGoodBoy ?

The real question is if it was a Golden or a Chocolate dog. Either way, hope the puppy is okay.

I, in my great and unmatched wisdom think labrador retrievers should be banned.

Another brilliant gun owner! Glad the innocent dog is fine.

lab needs to be rescued from these people

Total horse shit. Charge her reckless discharge and false report

Which one was the good guy? GunSafety

lol

Bummer. Maybe guns aren’t so great to own

Must have been out of Beggin’ Strips...

Uh, this would be highly unlikely, just saying

Must have been a hunting dog.

Poor lady, I hope she feels better soon. Dog got spooked by a train? I guess first time listening to a train, didn’t understand, poor dog.

Why was the gun left around🐕

Ban dogs

It’s Oklahoma

Every responsible gun men learn something to this

Republicans moving to ban Labrador retrievers.

Good dog with a gun. Dangerous.

I’m so glad the dog didn’t get hurt

If only there had been a good guy with a gun to stop this.

Lol!!!

So where was she headed with a round in the chamber, gun cocked safety off? mfolokc

But as long as the dog is fine...!

Shouldn’t have taught Molly how to load it and switch off the safety.

This couple deserves a Darwin Award! Seriously stupid to have a loaded gun in the truck🙄

Someone ran out of treats.

It's called thining out the herd

kinsellawarren Could of been worse. It could of been a Terrier-ist attack.

At least Portia isn’t this bad 😅 andresIrivas

Did she vote for Trump? May be more to this story...... 🐕😁

“Thug life chose me”

So close Darwinism, so close.

Hopefully the woman was taken to the local shelter 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Oklahoma woman should be forced to take a firearm safety class.

Shot in 'the leg.' She had only one leg?

Good pupper

I bet we learn that there was a history of abuse. The wrong dog chews. Not enough time at the dog park. The lab finally had it

Oh, America. You do make me laugh.

What does the driver having Dementia have to do with this stoty? Or is there more tl this story? Never leave a loaded gun unsecure in ghd car or at home. Accidents like this happen. Happy the lady will be alright.

Guns don’t shoot people! Dogs sh—aw, hell!

Why would anyone have a loaded gun on the dash board? Nutty people 🙄

A dog shoots more accurate than the shooters in Chicago

Oh wow! That is crazy!

A dog shooting someone in a pickup truck in Rural America, why did this seem inevitable

You spelled “Florida man” wrong

Why do you have a loaded gun laying around?

Does she get a purple bullet from the NRA?

😂😂😂😂😂🙌🏼👍🏼 'NRA! NRA!' ......hope she 'learnt' somphin' ....Merica! Mmmerika!🇺🇸

Wow, poor dog!! Probably scared him half to death! Hope he didn’t get hearing loss or anything. Had to have hurt his ears. I hope he’s ok. ❤️❤️

That’s what you get for switching to dry food.

Dogs have a good sense of...

Owner: Who's a good dog? Are you a good dog? Yes you are. Dog,: Bang Owner: You're a bad dog! A good dog with a gun would have stopped you. Bad dog! Bad dog! Dog: Say I'm a good dog or I'll shoot you again

BriscoApril oops..

Of course, the labrador can't talk, and she would look awful stupid telling the police that she shot herself while playing with the hand gun. That's a good one there.

still a good boy!

Darwin Award...woman does not deserve to have guns, if the gun is cocked and the safety is off...

And on this day, another responsible gun owner learned a valuable lesson in basic firearm safety.

Stop eatin my nigga doggy treats

Maybe the dog didn't like right wing stupid women. Oklahoma is full of them.

I saw this on 1000 Ways to Die, except it was a snake.

America doesn’t have a gun problem, it has a canine problem apparently....

I’m sure the dog was forgiven

How is this even possible? Most guns require the trigger to be pulled and some I don't think could be accidentally fired by anyone just stepping on it let alone a dog. Sounds like anti gun propaganda to me

More dangerous than pit bulls

And people complain about Pitbulls. smh.

I do not think Molly is innocent. I think Molly shot the woman on purpose because she was jealous. This is a clear case of attempted murder and should go to trial.

If only she had a gun she could have protected herself from this dog who obviously was warped from years of video games and raised poorly by it's parents and dogs don't have empathy any more.

Glad the dog wasn’t hurt.

Hahahahahahaha! Looks like she got what she deserved. Glad no one else was hurt because of her irresponsibility. Glad the dogs ok

Was she trying to cross the border (collie)?

This is why people in Florida shouldn’t travel to Oklahoma...

This could've been prevented if only for a 'good dog' with a gun.

Oh now we gotta remove dogs from gun owner homes

The dog was probably within his rights.

Good guy with a gun

ABC reporters reading a claim that a dog stepping onto a loaded gun caused it to discharge:

Gotta hear both sides

He was framed!

Can’t make this up.

A cat would do that

Guns don’t shoot people. Dogs shoot people... err...

Lol such an American story.

Absolutely worthy of national news coverage. Bravo.

Guns don't kill people, dogs using guns kill people?

Molly looks innocent even tho that's a stock photo

Good for her. Gun nutter

Don't forget, dogs are 'Man's' best friend, not 'Women's'😜😜

In Soviet Russia, Ol' Yeller shoots you?

So her methhead boyfriend who owned the gun illegally was playing with it, and shot her by accident, in other words. Got it.

sooo we gonna blame the dog or the owner for having a gun layin around?

Oh no... now the Democrats will want to ban Labrador retrievers🤔🤪

Jessica53628459 Replace the guns with dogs.

This is national news?

Clearly red flag laws don’t work....

Shouldn't have tried to take his manhood.

I support dog gun rights

Bet this sumbich fell thru the gunshow loophole

Are they going to try and ban guns from dogs now? People are so stupid.

I hope the democrat socialist do not blame the NRA for this:

annikasmethurst Good dog.

Gave me an idea for a new James Bond movie: 'The Man with the Golden Lab'

Whose a good boy!!

We must take action to ban Assault Retrievers.

That’s what happens when you leave a loaded gun laying around unattended! Her bad not the dogs

That’s ruff....

Can’t fix stupid, or really stupid! Guns don’t shot people, dogs w guns do!

Has the dog been charged?

Are they charging dog ?

The cat set him up

that's ruff

And why wasn’t the trigger lock on?

Guns don't hurt people! Poodles hurt people.

Yeah, if you're that careless, you deserve it.

This story only enhances typical stereotypes 😜

We can’t let dogs have access to guns. More common sense gun laws.

🤣🤣

Better than the dog getting shot.

Oh that’s not good. Labradors are not meant to shoot. Perhaps she was mean with cuddles?

More guns, more bullets, more victims......... How can anyone leave a gun laying around unsecured? Don't wish her evil but I sure do hope it hurts so bad she might actually be thinking about the cause of this injury.

The dog saw joker.

With a gun owner so careless at least it only went in the leg and glad not in the dog

The dog must be great at the range. 🐩

You know America has too many guns when pets start shooting.

They do say they are hunting dogs...

Hmmmm an unfortunate occurrence.I hope and pray for a speedy recovery for the victim.

What a good pup!

All we needed was a good dog with a gun

what gun problem?

Please tell me the dog is still alive and loved.

THE LABRADOR IS INNOCENT the woman is to blame

Makes sense

This dog should be arrested and tried for attempted murder. If dogs can carry weapons only dogs with weapons and shoot people.

Stupid conditions result in stupid consequences...🤷‍♀️ The poor pup was probably frightened, and definitely deserves a spa day.

We should get rid of all dogs.

His way of teaching about why strict gun control laws are needed

Sending thoughts and prayers

See guns don’t hurt people, bad dogs with a gun hurt people

Protect us all from idiots like her who own guns and get shot by man’s best friend.

Now the dogs are getting in on the action 🙄

Too much doggie fortnite

Irresponsible gun ownership

thank god the dog didn't get hurt!

Thinning the herd

'That Wasn't An Accident'... Said The Labrador

He is man's best friend after all... Not woman's... 😂

Every time I hear about one of these incidents, it reminds me of that time in The 5th Element when the junkie knocks on Bruce Willis' door demanding all his money, a Bruce talks him out of the gun because the idiot doesn't know anything about the safety on the gun.

America is so Savage we have dogs shooting people 😂

This is one of those things that could happen although there wasn't guns involved....Trump voter probably.

Lucky she got shot only on her leg.

If we had laws requiring gun owners to behave responsibly and keep weapons secured these stupid 'accidents' wouldn't keep happening.

We need more good dogs with guns!!!!

But where was the good dog with a gun?

🤷‍♀️

How is the dog? Hoping he was not hurt

Only thing that could have stopped this was a good boy with a gun.

I call for an investigation. Did he 'accidentally' step on the gun?

Why is a man with dementia 1. Driving 2. owning a gun?

who's a good boy ? when yer dog shoots ya, time to reevaluate your life choices.

Are we sure this wasn’t Brian from Family Guy?

Guns don’t kill people. Dogs kill people :-)

How did the dog get the safety off?

My dog ate my homework and then shot my mom.

Must have been tough getting his paw inside the trigger.

People really should considered keeping their guns loaded not chambered.

Seriously gun safety should be mandatory!

If there was only a good dog with a gun, this would've never happened.

Irresponsible gun owners like this are the reason everyone thinks people who own guns are stupid.

He was a very good boy

The Gun was Registered.. The Dog was Not

the only thing that can stop a B A D B O Y E with a gun is a G O O D B O Y E with a gun

Wtf

ban dogs

😂😂😂😂😂😂
