Authorities say a Wisconsin woman accidentally shot a friend while using the laser sight on a handgun to play with a cat.
A criminal complaint charging 19-year-old Jashanti Pleasant with negligent use of a weapon says she was visiting a Kenosha apartment Tuesday afternoon where a 21-year-old man had brought a handgun.
According to the complaint filed Thursday, Pleasant, who a witness said had been drinking, picked up the handgun, “turned on the laser sight and was pointing it at the floor to get the cat to chase it,” when the gun went off.
Authorities say the man was shot in the thigh and was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Not sure how the dude was hit in the thigh if she was pointing it on the floor? Was he sitting on the floor? Ricochet bullet?
For some reason I never thought of using the laser on a gun as a cat toy. Now I know why! I’m surprised the kitty didn’t get shot, glad that wasn’t the case and the guy was only wounded.
I took out cotton’s talkin ball again last night, she is still ignoring it. But Cooper loves it. I should take a video of him playing with it. He goes bananas.
