Fortunately, the gunshot was not fatal, only grazing the man's left thigh, and he was immediately treated at a medical facility.

The dog's name is Oreo, a 1-year-old pit bull.

As indicated in a police incident report, the dog "got his paw stuck in the trigger guard and ended up hitting the trigger."

However, the police incident report didn't specify what type of weapon was fired during the incident. They also recorded it as an "accidental injury."

As odd as this incident could be, however, records show this wasn't the first time a dog was involved in a gun-related incident.

In January 2023, a 30-year-old man named Joseph Smith was fatally shot in Kansas when his dog accidentally stepped on a loaded rifle in the backseat of his truck. The gun discharged, hitting Smith in the chest and killing him instantly. The incident sparked discussions on gun safety and the risks of leaving loaded firearms unsecured around pets.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
