The parents of a Kennesaw police recruit killed by an instructor during firearms training said Wednesday they are frustrated and angry that the veteran officer responsible was neither charged with a crime nor fired...I guess the grand jury foreman checked the wrong box...?
The sheriff's administrative report on the shooting was released nearly six months after the shooting. It said that Jackson fired a single round during a drill in which recruits faced each other, drew their weapons, pulled the trigger, ejected the magazine, reloaded and pulled the trigger a second time, according to the sheriff's report.
Jackson took the place of the recruit facing Drummond to demonstrate the procedure, the report states. Jackson's semiautomatic pistol fired a live round when reloaded with the second magazine, striking Drummond in the chest, investigators reported.

ReplyDeleteAh yes! The "I'm a dubmass that hasn't the vaguest idea about gun safety drill". Very good.
If someone told me to do that I'd tell them to get bent. I'm not epicly stupid enough to willingly let someone point a gun at me and pull the trigger...TWICE!!
