TAYLORSVILLE — A 34-year-old man has been arrested for investigation of multiple counts of sex abuse against a 13-year-old girl.

The four-month relationship was discovered after a bizarre incident at the man's house in which one of his housemates was shot by a third housemate who was reportedly trying to shoot a mouse in his kitchen with a 9mm handgun, according to investigators.

Horrible story, but possibly the strangest headline ever.

[An American!]

Is that a mouse in your pocket?

This must be an omen. I’ve really been jonesing for a Browning High-Power.

[Molon Labbie]

I don’t know. Here’s a contender.

I know the .45nutsfans call 9mms "mouse guns", but they are overstating the case.

Guy gets shot while dropping some obama’s off in the pool. Wow.

Nope, I'd say that's a winner right there.

A winner for strangeness. Otherwise disgusting on so many levels!

[Titan Magroyne]

I wouldn’t be pinging *cough* ‘cept for the headline, y’know.

Looks like the mouse ducked.

Another renter horror story.

Sounds like too many first cousins getting married somewhere along the line.

Not to mention that the owner now has to worry about lead abatement...

Nothin wrong with hunting mice with a pistol, but I use a Ruger Single Six with CB caps. I 9mm would be SO LOUD.

I once had a neighbor, former USCG ship’s carpenter that among his numerous stories, was ordered to plink rats at some wharf they were tied up at. May have been in the Pacific during WW2.

That is SO stupid and dangerous!

Birdshot is much better.

[driftless2]

I knew a guy who said he used to shoot at rats in his house.

Eaker shot a mouse in a deer stand with a .40 caliber Glock.

True story.
