Stafford police said one of its officers was training at the Rosenberg Police Department shooting range on Avenue A near 8th Street at about 9:45 p.m. Thursday.

Investigators said the officer, a 20-year veteran of the department, was somehow shot in the leg.

The officer was taken by helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital. Officials said his injuries were not life-threatening and he was expected to be released on Friday.

The officer, whose name has not been released, was training for his annual recertification, police said.

Several law enforcement agencies in Fort Bend County use the Rosenberg shooting range.

Stafford police said they will conduct their own investigation, but Rosenberg police will also investigate since it was in their jurisdiction.

ND?

Glock?

Maybe a DEA agent with dreadlocks and a Glock?

Oh wait someone's already been there done that.

"Investigators said the officer, a 20-year veteran of the department, was somehow shot in the leg."

I'd bet someone knows exactly what happened.

Playing around thinking the gun isn't loaded...

 

[atilla]

well, did get recertified?

at least it was only in the leg, could have been a lot worse. i wonder what really happened there.

at least he's okay.

What about that video of the guy in a courthouse holstering his pistol with his finger on the trigger? You know, where he hit one of his fellow officers with a conga line of guys in chains right next to him? I don't know any other way that you are "somehow shot in the leg".

I'd wager that he had his finger on the trigger while holstering.

How do you somehow get shot?

 

[M1911]

How do you somehow get shot?

Step 1) somehow, load your gun.
Step 2) somehow, point the gun at yourself.
Step 3) somehow, pull the trigger.
Step 4) ????
Step 5) Profit!!

Oh, wait. That was for internet companies.

Somehow. That's how. As in, "The officer explained the situation much as a 12-year-old explains a baseball sitting in a pile of plate glass shards."

Some people shouldn't own guns.

 

[Fixxah]

FAIL.

 

[FrugalFannie]

Guns are dangerous. Cops shouldn't have guns.

I hope it was'nt a ND , Some cops suck!

 

[MasterShinken]

Yeah, but it works pretty well for "somehow" shooting yourself...

It's easier than that. He (or whomever pulled the trigger), should keep their finger off the trigger until they are ready to fire while keeping their gun pointed in a safe direction...

I bet it was those nasty ND Gnomes.

These are the people we are told are the "experts"?

Yup. And if a police officer had been at that MG shoot in Westfield a couple years back, then that 8-year-old kid wouldn't have been shot.

 

[twogunwilly]

sounds like more than a flesh wound if they coptered him out of there. must have been a 9mm to do so much damage.

HUNH!? WTF does a cop need with bear ammo?

Now you're just talking silly. Where do you come up with these ridiculous thoughts?

It's all part of my radical philosophy...

Helicopter ride for a non life threatening somehow gun shot injury?
