Woman shoots "Cocaine", kills husband

JACKSON, Miss. — Police in Mississippi say a woman opened fire on a puppy that had threatened children, but wound up shooting and killing her husband.

Witnesses tell police that the pit bull named “Cocaine” had lunged at some children and tried to attack them on Friday... It was then that police say Betty Walker fired twice, hitting the dog once and her husband once in the chest.

I have this sneaking suspicion that the dog having the name "Cocaine" was not unrelated.
