On Wednesday at around 10 p.m., Janice Jones was shot in her leg after her dog knocked the 9mm handgun off of the car seat which was parked off of Beach Boulevard, behind her motor home.
Jones was shot in the leg when the gun hit the floor of the car, causing it to discharge a bullet that went through her calve and the side of the vehicle.

On Wednesday at around 10 p.m., Janice Jones was shot in her leg after her dog knocked the 9mm handgun off of the car seat which was parked off of Beach Boulevard, behind her motor home.
Janice Jones is 53 years old and lives in Barstow, California, according to California Highway Patrol press liaison Tammy Rye.
“It could have been worse,” Rye said. “The bullet hit two inches from the gas tank.”
Jones’ dog, a Pomeranian named Tombo, was placed in the care of the Huntington Beach Animal Control officers.
The dog was not in the best condition when it was taken in, and had shown signs of abuse and neglect from the owner.
The dog seemed to be malnourished, according to Janet Ngo, one of the animal control officers, and had fresh cigarette burns on its forehead. “It could have done with a little less abuse and a few more of those pork chops,” Ngo said.
Ngo was not pleased with the condition of the animal, and plans to press charges of animal abuse against Jones.
Not only was the dog in a terrible condition, but according to Rye, officers cited Jones for expired plates and the county’s district attorney’s office was considering whether to charge her in relation to the gun accident. Jones doesn’t have a permit for the gun, Rye said.
