In a social media post on Friday, the sheriff’s office said, “The shooting was an accidental discharge by a Fulton County District Attorney’s Office investigator who wounded herself. She was not critically wounded.”

Repeat ad nauseum -- there is no such thing as an accident with a gun. The word they're looking for is negligent discharge.
 
From the Oklahoma Dept of Corrections -

Late on Friday, Jan. 19, while in the safe room, Director Steven Harpe accidentally discharged his firearm into the concrete floor. The damage to the floor is minimal, and the round did not penetrate the floor. No one else was present. The director immediately reported it to ODOC’s law enforcement division. As per policy, Dir. Harpe is scheduled for remedial firearms training and will requalify. ODOC has handled this situation as it would with any employee. Dir. Harpe qualified as any correctional employee prior to carrying a firearm.

Accidental discharges are not uncommon among law enforcement. Since mid-2022, ODOC staff have been involved in nine accidental discharge incidents. Only one resulted in discipline; however, it was due to policy violations and not the discharge itself. The incident with Dir. Harpe is being amplified by a known critic of the agency. Contrary to his statements, ODOC is not covering this up or providing special treatment to the director. The agency has not corresponded about this issue with Rep. Justin Humphrey.

The weapon was secured and checked even though this did not occur at a facility. Per policy, we may drug test if there is reasonable suspicion of intoxication. There was none in this case.

"Since mid-2022, ODOC staff have been involved in nine accidental discharge incidents." NINE?? One every two months?
