The police chief shot one of his officers in the Carter Lake, Iowa, station yesterday. Here's the official explanation as relayed by the AP
"City Attorney Joe Thornton says Police Chief Shawn Kannedy was discussing firearms with two officers on Wednesday when Kannedy’s weapon went off. Sgt. Dan Driver was hit in the torso."
The chief said "go bang" maybe? Sounds more like a finger on the trigger. There's a rule against that, I think.
Sgt. Dan is in the hospital. Chief Kannedy is under suspension. I am pondering the universal government mantra that us poor klutzy civilians should entrust our personal defense to the "trained professionals."

No charges to be filed, as in the course of police training, negligence must be proven.
Uh...
Showing how the mag from your S&W fits in another S&W is training?
Pointing a loaded gun at a person (without checking the chamber first) then pulling the trigger is not negligent?
Good to be the chief.
