Last Tuesday, a 19-year-old woman named Jashanti Pleasant from Kenosha, Wisconsin accidentally shot her friend James, while playing with a cat.
She apparently pulled a 9mm handgun from a nightstand drawer . . . turned on the laser sight . . . and was pointing it at the floor to get a cat to chase it. While she was doing that, the gun went off, and it struck James in the right thigh. Jashanti said she thought the gun’s magazine had been removed. But according to a witness, she’d also been drinking brandy. She was arrested for causing injury by the negligent use of a weapon. James was treated for the gunshot wound at the hospital. It sounds like he’ll be okay. By the way, it was James’ gun, and he’s already facing felony gun charges for his role in a gang-related shooting last year. So he’ll likely be in even more trouble now.
