DEA Agent Shoots Self in Gun Safety Class

 

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - A federal drug agent shot himself in the leg during a gun safety presentation to children in what police describe as an accident. His bosses, however, are still investigating the incident.

 

The Drug Enforcement Administration agent, whose name was not released, was speaking April 9 to about 50 adults and students organized by the Orlando Minority Youth Golf Association, witnesses and police said.

 

 

He drew his .40-caliber duty weapon and removed the magazine, according to the police report. He then pulled back the slide and asked an audience member to look inside the gun and confirm it wasn't loaded.

 

Witnesses said when the agent released the slide, one shot fired into the top of his left thigh. The gun was pointed at the floor

 

The agent was treated at Orlando Regional Medical Center and returned to work, a DEA official said.

There was a guy in the police academy class before mine that dropped a round on the ground at the range and it went off and hit him in the thigh. Luckily it only grazed him and did not even go through his clothes but everyone still thought it was pretty funny. I guess the dude thought he shot himself in the balls and started screaming as he ripped of his pants.

It's not talked about muvh any more, but there was a Licking County Deputy Sheriff that did that in the locker room. They had just gone to automatics from 38 revolvers and he was practicing his quick draw in front of a mirror. Shot himself in the foot. Was off for a while healing up. Then about a year later, he did the same shit again. Quick draw in front of the same mirror and got himself in the other foot. Not to bright.

our last chief deputy, about 6 years ago, was doing a "training execise" and pulled a hiden gun that he had in the jail and fired what he thought was blanks. this was at another deputy.

 

the end result:

one deputy shot in the knee, off the job for life on disablity

one chief deputy indicted by grand jury and plead guilt and got a suspended sentence and fired with alot of comm service.
