A bizarre incident in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, resulted in a woman being accidentally shot by a shotgun that discharged when a dog moved inside a pickup truck. The shooting happened on May 23, shortly after noon, near the Short Stop convenience store. Police received a call at approximately 12:07 PM regarding a shooting, initially believing it involved a BB gun. Upon arrival, they found damage consistent with a shotgun blast on the passenger-side door of a truck. The vehicle's owner had a dog in the back seat, which inadvertently triggered the shotgun. The woman, who was not in the store but stopped at a traffic light with her arm resting on an open window, was hit in the upper right arm. She was later driven to Regional West Medical Center for treatment, with police stating her injuries were not life-threatening.
