Off Duty Officer Accidentally Shoots Self

[tennesseetiger]

I see a few things that really helped make this happen...like trying to catch the gun when it was falling for instance. It sounds like he's going to be ok tho which is good news.

So, why was he playing with his gun in the elevator to begin with?

I asked the same question...first words out of my mouth actually.

He wanted to impress the lady.

GREAT!!! Another cop shoots a black man who was just standing in an elevator. Bring on the protesters.

Ya, I was glad that I wasn't drinking something when I read that! :)

As a LEO myself I really wish people would stop doing stuff that makes so many officers look bad. This guy is a tard.

[Grand Torino]

Surely he has a really good explanation for that. Well probably not.

I bet both of their ears are still ringing.

This area seemed like the best place to post this as he was off duty and carrying in (perhaps) similar manner as many non LEOs would. 

 

Based on what I can tell (only watched the video twice) it seems like he unholstered his firearm and was attempting to move it into his jacket pocket when the accidental discharge occurred. 

 

According to the news story I read the shot ricocheted off of the elevator door and struck him in the stomach. He was taken to the hospital and treated for non life threatening injuries, was released, and is making a full recovery (thank the Lord!).

Really? I've not stumbled across any others about this situation. If you can point me to them I will gladly delete and take the discussion over there.

Don't fret though, OS gets a little grumpy from time to time.  :lol:

Ah, I didn't think to look in the general discussion area as I thought it fit better in this (and perhaps 1 or 2 other) sections. 

 

Cheers!

I'm sure she was suitably impressed ...

I think they changed it and Pluto is a planet again.

It’s still just a dwarf planet. But Obama could change that by Executive Order.

Crazy video. Glad the cop is alright. Apparently he was wanting to hold the gun in his pocket but it slipped from his grip causing him to pull the trigger.

I know I am late to the party but by God that's the funniest thing I have read in a while.
