Virginia Beach Police have launched an internal investigation after a
gun was accidentally fired during a training exercise in North
Carolina.
Police confirm it happened Wednesday night at the Academi Training Center in Moyock, North Carolina. You may know that facility by its former name, Blackwater.
The Camden County Sheriff’s Office says the incident occurred after
training was completed Wednesday afternoon, when officers were cleaning
their weapons. The Sheriff’s Office says Capt. Michael Ronan’s weapon
accidentally discharged, which resulted in one officer being struck in
the arm.
How in the world can someone who's trained in firarms handling do something like this? How much training does it take to remember to remove the round from the chamber FIRST?
I say such an amazing lack of competence in gun-handling should be considered criminal. Such a person should lose his rights to own and use guns.
