WTF?
The shooter refers to her over and over as âbabyâ.Friendly fire is never a good thing...
Did the round make it through her vest?
Friendly fire isn't
It looked like she was going to shut the door behind her, leaving her partner to get eaten by the dog
They said he hit the door with his hand and it made the gun go off. I call bs 1. his finger shouldn't of been in the trigger guard 2. Put your gun back in the holster! 3. DONT POINT IT AT SOMEONE UNLESS YOUR GOING TO SHOOT THEM!
True, but propper equipment discipline helps to reduce the potential for injury when those accidents do happenLet's try not to make overreaching statements or make this into any thing more than a terrible workplace accident. People who work with dangerous equipment sometimes make mistakes that hurt coworkers. It could have been a forklift, or someone energized an electrical circuit, or didn't lock the ball on the hitch. It could happen to any one of us at the range, either as shooter or victim. I'm very sorry for everyone involved.
Flashlights on guns - this. Seen too many clinch the weapon trying to turn light off or on.
Same here. Not saying it's part of this incident though.I've never been a fan of the flash lights on guns.
Wait, was that a Sig P320?They said he hit the door with his hand and it made the gun go off. I call bs 1. his finger shouldn't of been in the trigger guard 2. Put your gun back in the holster! 3. DONT POINT IT AT SOMEONE UNLESS YOUR GOING TO SHOOT THEM!
Looked to me like the woman open the door to allow entry. Maybe she was leaving him and he was reported as potentially violent or had threatened her.So....the gunman reported to dispatch that an officer had been shot.
Not "Hey, it's an accidental shooting."
It's a good thing the rest of the Thin Blue Line didn't roll up in there all amped up on "cop's been shot" and did something equally foolish.
Wait....wait....I'm doing this wrong.
We don't know what happened before the beginning of the video - maybe there was an altercation or words or something that caused the shooting. You know how these videos you see online are.....never showing the whole story.
Yeah, like anyone is going to want to be his partner.Hell be back on active duty next week. ....... no seriously, the article says hell be back next week, new partner Im guessing
So I wasn't the only one noticed that finger across the trigger guard.There is so much fail here. This guy had his muzzle on her back when they entered the residence. At one point the cam showed his trigger finger in or near enough to the trigger guard that ND was possible. And yes, the switch to activate light (why in broad daylight?) is in a not good place.
Weaponlights are fine...this was a training/mental issue.
Clear some houses at night and you might change your mind...I've never been a fan of the flash lights on guns.
It was fixed when I typed it. I was talking specifically about the light the officer is using. Some weapon lights are garbage and/or have sketchy switches so I wasn't vouching for all of them.FIFY

While I don't agree with his methods, he didn't fire the gun while toggling the light during the search...he fired it when he went brain dead trying to keep the dog from getting loose.
Has nothing to do with the specific light he was carrying, but thatâs fine. Sorry I âfixedâ youâre statement. You know what? Weâll make it my statement..... Weapon lights are fine, and necessary; training is the issue. There are only two lights acceptable for duty use IMO, Streamlight and Surefire. Sure, there are others that are âgarbage and/or have sketchy switchesâ but if you crank off a round instead of hitting the light switch, guess what?..........thatâs a training issue not a hardware issue and I donât care if you have a Surefire X100,000 or Walmart Nebo special.
