From Oregon, USA.

An Oregon woman is accused of shooting her husband after he shot her pet chicken.

The Eugene-Register Guard reported Mary Kay Gray, 58, has been jailed on felony assault charges.

Her husband, Stanley Edward Gray, 43, is recovering from a gunshot wound to the shoulder.

The chicken died at the scene.

Lane County sheriff’s Sgt. Clint Riley said the couple had been working around their yard and drinking on Labor Day. They got into an argument after Stanley Gray shot the chicken with a .44 caliber handgun.

“We don’t know if it was an accident or if it was on purpose,” Riley said of the chicken’s death. “It depends who you ask.”
