The exercise called for police to carry special training shotguns that would only fire blank rounds. But during the training, one of the weapons malfunctioned, and one of the officers went outside to a police car to retrieve a standard-issue shotgun, Ehrbar said.
The officer loaded that shotgun with what he thought were blanks, but were later discovered to be birdshot, which had somehow been placed in the box containing the blank rounds, Ehrbar said.
And naturally, they're "not anticipating any charges" against the knucklehead who negligently wounded not one, not two, but three fellow "Only Ones."
The only thing missing from this farce is the pie fight at the end. That and putting Curly's head in a vise.
