This has been around for a while, I have yet to find any indication that it is fake.

I just ran a tineye search on the photo and came back to an article comment by the author of the story and it is indeed authentic....

We considered that there’s a good possibility that this photo could have been altered, making this story just another urban email legend. Our lead investigator then contacted the staff writer of the mentioned article. Their writer Chris Porter confirmed that this photo is in fact authentic. Chris Porter gave us permission to post his email response.

“Hi Bill,
Believe me, you're not the first to ask about this photo. I didn't actually take it, though I did write the article right next to it. The photo was actually provided by a civilian who lived across the street from where the incident took place.

Long story short: Several Marble Falls police officers responded to a residence, where a man had barricaded himself inside with a gun. As you see, one of the officers jammed her ammo clip in the magazine port backwards. In talking to the police chief afterward, many other officers saw this and corrected her immediately, though by that time, the picture had already been taken.

None of the officers outside ever fired their weapons, so ultimately, there was no damage done. What's even more amazing is that our newspaper doesn't have a Web site, and this photo has made the rounds since October 2006. I've received literally dozens of calls.

So that's the story. [the end of his email was snipped.] Thanks Chris Porter”

LOL! It reminded me of this:

To the original post. It's not a photoshop and it's been posted numerous times. She really did jam the mag in backwards.

But she has excellent trigger discipline. Yep, safety is job #1. Marksmanship...not so much.

ITS A MAGAZINE NOT A CLIP!
