FREEDOM, Pa. – Police say a costumed 9-year-old girl was accidentally shot outside a western Pennsylvania home during a Halloween party by a relative who thought she was a skunk.
New Sewickley Township police say the girl was over a hillside and wearing a black costume and a black hat with a white tassel. Chief Ronald Leindecker says a male relative mistook her for a skunk and fired a shotgun, hitting her in the shoulder Saturday night.

A nine year old girl is a large skunk. I am from central Pennsylvania. We know what a skunk looks like.

None of the ones I’ve seen.
This is one of the worst excuses to try to get out of attempted murder charges that I’ve read about.

Anyone that shoots a real skunk has to be drunk, stupid or a sniper. A shotgun is way too close of a weapon for a skunk.
Prayers up for the kid.

a skunk is damn lucky if it lives to be 9.. and so apparently are kids in that neck of the woods at Halloween time.

No kidding. Shooting one anywhere near your house is stupid anyway. I caught one in my garage with a live trap in the spring. It was tricky getting it out of there and into the woods without getting sprayed.

Dang, son. What do you folks in Pennsylvania feed your skunks that makes them the size of a 9-year-old girl?

Why anyone would like to shoot a yellow-jacket eater is beyond me.
Skunks go after those stinging pests like they were candy.
