BRUSSELS — A dog bumped into a loaded shotgun, discharging the weapon and killing his master, a Belgian newspaper reported Saturday.
The daily Vers l’Avenir, said the dog, a spaniel, jumped onto the back seat of a jeep where his master had left the gun, and set off the weapon as the vehicle was being driven down an unpaved country road.
Jean Guillaume, 66, was struck in the back and died immediately, the newspaper quoted police as saying.
The shooting Thursday took place in Ligny, 25 miles southeast of Brussels, the capital.
