Woman shot by stove

SEKIU, Wash. (AP) - A woman in Washington state says her cast-iron stove shot her in the leg.

Cory Davis tells the Peninsula Daily News that she had just stoked the heating stove in her home Sunday when she heard a loud bang and was struck in her left calf.

She says she initially thought "that was one fast hot coal flying at me."

In fact, she was hit by part of a 22-gauge shotgun shell that she had accidentally put into the stove with newspapers she used to light it. A box of shells had spilled nearby a few weeks before.

Davis says she removed the metal fragment herself Sunday and sought treatment for the shallow wound the next day.

Wow.....maybe she will be a little more careful about leaving shotgun shells around now???

I hope she doesn't have any dogs or toddlers crawling around at her place.
The shell might have been found earlier.

I guess she should be thankful she only got shot in the leg.
