    Gun teacher accidentally shot student
    Published: May 7, 2009 at 5:34 PM

    PONTIAC, Mich., May 7 (UPI) -- Police said a Michigan concealed weapons teacher accidentally shot a student in the face during a demonstration.

    Investigators said the 74-year-old teacher accidentally discharged a bullet from a .38-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver at about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday during a class in Oakland County, WDIV-TV, Detroit, reported Thursday.

    The bullet ricocheted off a table and struck a 52-year-old student in the face. The student was taken to Troy Beaumont Hospital to receive treatment for non-life threatening injuries.

    The teacher told investigators he thought the gun was loaded with plastic bullets.

    Police said the shooting is being treated as accidental and no charges have been filed.

    Plastic bullets or not anyone handling a weapon (even more so an instructor) needs to practice safety!

    As has been said before, keep your booger hook off the bang switch!
