A Labrador shot her owner after she stepped on a loaded gun at a train crossing, police said.

Tina Springer, 44, was rushed to a hospital in Enid, Oklahoma on Thursday suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg.

Springer was in the passenger seat of a car that was stopped at a railroad crossing when her seven-month-old yellow lab named Molly jumped.

Police say Molly got startled at the train crossing and jumped onto vehicle’s middle console that contained a loaded .22 caliber pistol.


The force of Molly’s paw on the console reportedly caused the gun to go off – and the bullet struck Springer in her left leg.
