A Potter Valley woman wounded herself and a man July 3 while attempting to kill mice with a .44-caliber Magnum revolver, according to the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office.
The woman, 43, had drawn the gun from a holster under her left arm, intending to shoot mice scurrying across the floor of a small travel trailer on Highway 20 in Potter Valley, according to the Sheriff's Office.
The revolver instead slipped from her hand and fired as it struck the floor, according to the Sheriff's Office.
The bullet went through the woman's right kneecap, then hit keys hanging on the belt loop of a 42-year-old man in the trailer, officials said. The bullet glanced off the keys and tore a hole in the man's pants.
The bullet grazed the man's groin before stopping in his coin pocket, where it was recovered for evidence, according to the Sheriff's Office.
The names of the shooting victims were not released.

She should have gone with snake shot.
Some people really are too stupid to own a gun.
.44 mag for mice? ...inside a trailer? Alcohol involved, I’d guess.
Hasn’t she ever heard of glue traps or cats.
A 44 magnum is not what I would call a “mouse gun”.
I can’t pass judgment until I see a picture of the gun.
Possible SNL script:
When asked why she would try to shoot a mouse with a pistol, the lady responded, “Well, the shotgun worked pretty good to get rid of the flies on the screen door.”
No, the shotgun “worked pretty good to get rid of THE SCREEN DOOR”, and most of the wall around it.
Tongue-in-cheek I was going to suggest that this woman should use a shootgun for mice, but I think the only think she should use is some common sense.
Depends on how big the mice are!!!!!!!!!
No, it makes sense. Sometimes they charge when they’re wounded.
Not even Annie Oakley could have made that shot.
LOL

“Is that a slug in your pocket, or are you writhing in pleasure to see me?”
Lol!
Lemme guess. Was alcohol involved?
