Mother accidentally shoots
daughter after mistaking
gun for novelty lighter


A 12-year-old girl has been wounded by a ricocheting
bullet fired by her mother, after she mistook a pistol for a
cigarette lighter in Banning, US.

Rachel Avila told the police she and her daughter were talking with friends
when she found what she thought was a novelty lighter in the shape of a
small pistol on the ground.

When she picked it up and pulled the trigger a .22-caliber bullet was fired,
which hit the ground and ricocheted into her daughter's upper right arm.

Banning police described the incident as an accidental shooting.

Her daughter was taken to San Gorgonio Memorial, where she was treated
and released, police said.

The weapon Avila said resembled a cigarette lighter was identified as a
North American Arms .22-caliber 'derringer style' revolver, one of the most
common small guns in the US, police said.

Sergeant Alex Diaz, who is investigating the incident, said: 'We're trying to
find out who the gun belongs to, so we're looking into that. At this point it
is considered an accident.'

In the UK, a man narrowly avoided jail recently after shooting off his finger
while removing a wart with a 12-bore shotgun.

Sean Murphy received a 16-week suspended sentence for illegally
possessing the shotgun.
