Washington Woman Says She Was Shot by Her Stove

SEKIU, Wash. – A Sekiu woman says she was shot in the leg by her stove.

Cory Davis told the Peninsula Daily News she had just stoked her cast-iron heating stove Sunday when she heard a loud bang and was struck in her left calf.

Davis says a case of shotgun shells spilled about a month ago at her home and one must have landed in the newspapers she used to light the stove.

She removed a metal fragment herself and was treated Monday at Forks Community Hospital.
