Malaysian mistakes woman for a monkey, shoots her

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - As a woman in Malaysia was calmly picking sapodilla friut out of her neighbors tree, she could have no idea what the next 3 minutes would bring her. Thinking she was a monkey, the neighbor shot her. Only did he know that she was human when she screamed and fell from the tree.

The woman was hospitalized with a wound to the abdomen but her condition was stable Friday.

The man, a volunteer security corps member, is under investigation for illegally discharging a firearm, which carries a maximum prison term of two years.
