MORRISTON, Fla. — "Authorities say a Levy County, Fla., man accidentally shot his wife while trying to hit a fox that attacked her.
The couple told deputies they spotted an animal in their yard Friday morning and went outside to see what it was.
The fox bit the woman on the left leg and wouldn't let go, so she told her husband to get a gun.
The man fired a .22-caliber rifle seven times, killing the animal but also hitting his wife in the lower right leg.
The woman was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The dead fox will be tested for rabies, but authorities say the results won't be available until next week."
Can't you just picture this mayhem...
Woman screaming and wriggling, fox screaming and wriggling, and a startled man trying to take aim. Little .22 round won't cause her much damage. Just be careful next time a python wraps around your neck, darlin'.
