Three Students Hurt When Cop's Gun Goes Off at School Safety Program
The jokes write themselves. Fortunately the injuries were minor
Three students were injured Wednesday morning after the "accidental discharge" of a police weapon during a safety presentation at a Chino, Calif., elementary school, police said.
The students -- whose ages were not immediately known -- suffered what were believed to be minor injuries and were taken to an area hospital as a precaution, said Tamrin Olden, crime prevention supervisor for the Chino Police Department. Additional information about their injuries were not immediately known.

All police should be required to carry revolvers. They are almost impossible to shoot accidentally.

FIFY!
Unless you "accidentally" pull the fucking trigger which is exactly what happens with the Glocks and other DA semi-autos.
Keep these "heroes" away from us. I will take my chances with the criminals.
Maybe the gun detected the image of a puppy nearby.
