FREEDOM, Pa. - 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 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.

    How stupid - guns for idiots. No way a 9 yr old looks skunk-sized and there no reason to shoot a skunk anyway.

    Since when is a friggin' skunk the size of a nine year old girl?
    The moron that shot her was probably a skunk... at least as drunk as one.

    Probably a f.cked up meth head. Looks out the window, sees a 5 foot girl in skunk suit and opens fire. WTF?

    Would have been more plausible if she was dressed in a deer suit or baby elk suit or something.

    Either that or it was another Obama psyop to strip the American people of their rights to bear arms.

    Sounds like the gun fanatic could see only her head over the hillside. It would be about the size and colour of the skunk and from the shooter's perspective, might look like it is walking along the top of the hill.

    My question is, who shoots guns into the hillside (for ANY reason) when there's a party and children close by?

    They said he wasn't drunk. Wonder what kind of pharms he takes. He was either an idiot or on drugs. Maybe our gun laws should just make people take an IQ test before allowing ownership. We can't continue to lose rights to idiots or we will have NONE at all.

    First of all, you ********NEVER******** shoot a skunk! If you do, and it lives, it will SPRAY! If you do, and it dies, the stuff will go all over ANYWAY! And a skunk the size of a 9yo could probably smell up the BLOCK!

    SECOND, Skunks have FOUR feet! I don't think they can even stand on 2 feet.

    THIRD, they are relatively small. A 9yo is FAR larger than a skunk. A 3yo is FAR larger! A 1yo is probably larger than a skunk!

    BTW they should file charges for ATTEMPTED MURDER! Even if the guy was too stupid, he had NO business OWNING a gun, let alone using one.
