A shell may have been in the newspapers she used to light the stove

SEKIU, Wash. - A woman said she was shot in the leg by her stove. Cory Davis told the Peninsula Daily News she had just stoked her cast-iron heating stove Sunday when she heard a loud bang and was struck in her left calf.

Davis said a case of shotgun shells spilled about a month ago at her home and one must have landed in the newspapers she used to light the stove.

She removed a metal fragment herself and was treated Monday at Forks Community Hospital.

On a sadder note, one of my uncles wives tried to move a piano down the stairs by herself and was run over and killed by it. " She was run over by a piano."

Ouch that must have hurt! I would have passed out. I am a nurse but GSW or any open wound just makes me cringe.

Someone better get on some legislation to stop this from happening again.
