Woman tries to kill mice, shoots self

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.
