Cops: Chicken Dies, Wife Shoots Husband
By Associated Press
Thu Sep 7, 7:11 PM

CHESHIRE, Ore. - A woman shot her husband in the back after he killed her pet chicken, the Lane County sheriff's deputies said. Deputies said they were sure that Mary Gray, 58, intended to shoot her husband, Stephen Gray, 43. They weren't certain if the husband meant to fire at the chicken.

"We don't know if it was an accident or if it was on purpose," Sgt. Clint Riley said. "It depends who you ask."

Riley said the couple had been drinking for much of Monday while they did yard work at their rented home in the town northwest of Eugene, and they began arguing after Stephen Gray shot the chicken with a .44-caliber handgun.

Deputies said he was then hit with a shot from a .22-caliber rifle, and is recovering. Mary Gray was arraigned Tuesday on an assault charge.

That's hilarious, in a really morbid sort of way.
My mom used to have a rooster, named Gabriel, that she nursed back to health from a broken leg. She made a splint from popsicle sticks and he got to be pretty tame (the was the 70's living on a farm, and we had plans for him).
Damn he was good.
mmmmmmm...chicken...

Picture the scene - hubby gets out of hospital and is treated to a bowl of chicken casserole by his contrite spouse to aid his recouperation... takes a mouthful and breaks a tooth on a .44 slug :grin:
Planning is an unnatural process - it is much more fun to do something.  The nicest thing about not planning is that failure comes as a complete surprise, rather than being preceded by a period of worry and depression. [Sir John Harvey-Jones]

Hey, if someone shot my chicken, I can't guarantee I would just turn the other cheek.  :grin:
