A Texan woman has accidentally killed her husband after opening fire on a puppy she said threatened neighbourhood children.
Witnesses told Mississippi police Robert Walker, 53, had picked up the eight-month-old pit bull after it had lunged at children on Friday.
His wife, Betty Walker, went inside to retrieve a gun, wounding the dog's leg with one shot and fatally shooting her husband with another.
Mr and Mrs Walker of Houston, Texas were visiting their son Robert Walker Jr and grandchildren at his South Jackson, Mississippi home.
The dog had been a part of the conversation during the Walkers stay.
'One day that dog's gonna jump that fence,' Mr Walker Jr remembers his father, a retired seismic engineer, saying.
Mr Walker's son said the dog attacked a child, pulling the shirt-tail of a seven-year-old boy.

Mr. Walker had more to fear from a menopausal wife with a gun then he did with an 8th month old puppy. Trust me on this.
LOL!
Hey remember the Coppertone dog, that one would be a major threat now.
What a hat...Keeps the rain off her head and waters her flower garden at the same time. Makes a bold fashion statement to boot.
That was a great, iconic, immensely successful and memorable ad.
But if that advertisement appeared today, it would be banned as kiddie pr0n and the advertising agency would be arrested, their computers searched and destroyed, etc. Our Nanny government has no sense of humor or perspective. Kind of a shame, really.
I remember seeing that ad on a large billboard near an overpass in Miami, back in the early 80s.
Ah, OK, that explains why she shot the husband instead. Who wants to shoot the world's only talking dog?
I don’t know what to think about this story. If she wasn’t trained in firearms, what happened is plausible. Some people are terrified of dogs, no matter how young they are.
What I totally don’t understand is where is the MS ping list?
