A Tempe, Arizona, school resource officer accidentally shot a 14-year-old girl with her Taser. The officer, who wasn't named by media, was taking part in an eighth-grade show and tell at Gilliland Middle School. She mistakenly pressed the trigger, propelling one of the two prong's into the girl's arm.
