Oct. 24th, 2012 04:36 amFor those that remember that CSI episode where a man shoots guy in a fur suit and claims (IIRC), "I thought it was a coyote.", here is one for you, from KYW 1060 News Radio, in Philly: http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2012/10/21/police-costumed-pa-girl-mistaken-for-skunk-shot-by-relative/
Police: Costumed PA Girl Mistaken For Skunk, Shot By Relative
FREEDOM, Pa. (AP) — Police say a costumed 9-year-old girl was accidentally shot outside a western Pennsylvania home during a Halloween party by a relative who thought she was a skunk.
New Sewickley Township police say the girl was over a hillside and wearing a black costume and a black hat with a white tassel. Chief Ronald Leindecker says a male relative mistook her for a skunk and fired a shotgun, hitting her in the shoulder Saturday night.
Leindecker tells the Beaver County Times (http://bit.ly/QzCkxj ) that the girl was alert and talking when she was flown to a hospital in Pittsburgh, about 30 miles away. Her condition was unavailable.
Leindecker says the man hadn’t been drinking and he doesn’t know whether charges will be filed.

He is stupid for shooting a gun when a kid's party was going on though.
Actually, if it HAD been a skunk, that would have ended the party fast. (And probably used up all the tomato juice within a five mile radius)

Discharging firearms in the vicinity of a children's party. [Makes the 'cut' gesture with my finger].
