Investigation is over, but not made public yet: http://www.heraldtribune.com/news/20...rarian-is-over
Ok, I read the news story, now it makes a little more sense.
These guys really screwed up big-time.
Whomever made the decision to use a real gun for the demonstration is at fault.
Whomever then gave the loaded gun to the officer that fired it is at fault.
And the officer that fired the gun is at fault for not verifying that the real gun was properly loaded with blanks.
It will be interesting to see where this goes.
My thoughts and prayers to the victim and her family.
Maybe it was no accident. Did the victim have information that would be detrimental to Hildabeast???
$2M settlement to the victim's husband: http://www.nbc-2.com/story/33549018/...ademy-shooting
No word yet if charges will be filed against the officer.
Finally charges are filed: http://www.wptv.com/news/state/annou...-investigation
I hope that they actually get the punishment they deserve.Quote:
The State Attorney office announced Wednesday that Officer Lee Coel is being charged with a 1st degree felony manslaughter with a firearm in the shooting and killing of Mary Knowlton. He has turned himself in at the county jail and has been arrested and processed.
Chief Tom Lewis is being charged with 2nd degree misdemeanor culpable negligence.
I feel horrible for the woman's family. This shouldn't have happened. It was 100% preventable.
If it were run by the book, that woman would not have been shot.
No, she was SHOT BY A COP!Quote:
During the demonstration, she was inexplicably hit with a live round
That round didn't just appear out of thin air, inexplicably.
The officer who shot the woman...Quote:
The officer whose weapon discharged
Basic safety procedures were not followed...Quote:
It is not clear why a loaded weapon was used in the exercise...
