Police Chief Shoots Self at Gun Training Session
Jeez .....................
Police Chief Shoots Self at Gun Training Session.
RIVERDALE, Utah — The police chief in Riverdale accidentally shot himself in an ankle while demonstrating how to dislodge a jammed handgun.
Chief Dave Hansen was taken to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden for surgery.
The 54-year-old chief accidentally fired a gun during a training exercise inside a conference room at Riverdale police headquarters.
A fire captain and Riverdale Mayor Bruce Burrows confirmed the chief shot himself Saturday in an ankle bone. They said he was trying to fix a gun with a jammed round when the bullet fired.
Riverdale police officers carry .40-caliber pistols.
Hospital supervisor Rohn Larsen said Hansen was in stable condition Sunday. Larsen said he couldn't reveal which ankle — left or right — the chief shot.
A Weber County dispatcher said nobody from the Riverdale police department was available Sunday to release any information on the accident. A patrol officer on duty Sunday said he didn't know anything about it.
The chief's brother, a state lawmaker, said Hansen is a 23-year veteran and chief of the Riverdale police force since 2006.The original point and click interface was a Colt Peacemaker!

Show this to Glockie.

What is it with cops, Glocks, and NDs? Glocks just seem too complex for some of todays crop of Police. I don't dislike cops, but I do dislike the fact that they continue to lower their hiring standards. Maybe they should go back to DA revolvers.
I like this part:

Reminds me of that D.E.A. Agent who shot himself in the foot in front of a class of kids. Why don't they just use Dummy bullets if they don't know basic gun safety. And these are the folks that are here for our safety......wow.
