Tennessee Police Recruit Shot by Instructor During Training
Tuesday, August 11, 2009
Print ShareThisA Memphis Police Department recruit was accidentally shot in the arm by an instructor during a training exercise at the Police Training Academy.
The recruit, who was not identified, was wounded Tuesday in the left wrist and released from a hospital after treatment.
Deputy Chief Joe Scott told WMC-TV that the drill was meant to teach recruits how to draw a weapon using their non-shooting hand. One of two instructors fired a gun that was supposed to have been unloaded.
Scott called it an "unfortunate accident."
The instructor was routinely relieved of duty until an investigation is completed.
Be safe (and stay away from that academy).
Scott
