A WOMAN was rushed to hospital after accidentally being shot by a dog playing with a loaded firearm.

The bizarre incident happened in the town of Scottsbluff, Nebraska state, earlier this week.

Police were called to a convenience store after receiving a report that a person had been shot – with the culprit being a black labrador.

Upon arrival they found a parked truck with major blast damage in one of its doors.

In the back seat, the animal had been left to its own devices – next to the loaded shotgun, KNOP reported.

As the pup bounced from one side of its back seat to another, it somehow managed to pull the trigger.

Scientists already understand a great deal about the makeup and function of blood cells in humans and mice thanks to advances in hematology and immunology. What has remained unclear is how these cells first appeared and evolved over time. To answer those questions, researchers at Kyoto University set out to trace the origins and diversification of blood cells across the animal world.

A French mother who allegedly abandoned her two young children in a forest in Portugal while blindfolded was arrested with her former law enforcement boyfriend while eating at a café near Libson.

Marine Rousseau, 41, was taken into custody Thursday with Marc Ballabriga, 55, two days after the couple allegedly dumped her helpless 3- and 5-year-old children in a remote forest and left, according to Portuguese and French media.

“They stayed sitting and didn’t seem nervous,” café owner Jorge Lopes told the news outlet. “They were searched and handcuffed without any stress at all. When I saw them so at ease in front of the authorities, I was astonished. It was as if they didn’t have blood running through their veins.”
