Homemade Cannon Kills Wife In (Drunken) Accident

<--- Hey, maybe drunk industrial Rednecks should avoid gunpowder.

Sorry.









A woman died Tuesday after a homemade cannon blew a projectile into a mobile home in a remote San Diego County community.
Two men, including the woman's husband, were tinkering with the cannon outside the home when it went off and sent a projectile into the home, said Capt. Mike Mohler of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
It was not immediately clear whether the projectile or the cannon blast killed the 33-year-old woman, he said.
The woman was pronounced dead about 12:15 a.m. at her home at the Twin Lakes Resorts mobile home park in Potrero, a community of about 700 people near the Mexican border.
Her name was not immediately released.
One of the men was injured and taken to a hospital. Mohler did not immediately know his condition or the extent of his injuries.
Mohler said he could not confirm reports that the men had been drinking.
