Huntington Story

Janice Jones, age 53, was shot in the leg around 10pm wednesday night when her dog, a Pomeranian named Tombo, accidently knocked Jone’s 9mm handgun off her couch while she was eating pork chops in the back of her motor home.  

In addition to being shot in the leg, the bullet also passed through the side of Jone’s vehicle according to California Highway Patrol Press Liaison Tammy Rye.  “It could have been worse,” stated Rye. “The bullet missed the gas tank by only two inches”.

While Jones is expected to make a full recovery after being treated at Irvine Medical Center, Tombo was placed in the care of the Huntington Beach Animal Control and according to control officer Janet Ngo, appeared to be malnourished and had fresh cigarette burns on its forehead.  “He could have done with little less abuse and a few more pork chops”, stated Ngo. She indicated her office would explore filing animal charges against Jones. Jones was also cited for expired plates and according to Rye, did not have a permit for the gun.
