DID ONE OF THEIR GUNS GO OFF BY MISTAKE?
mred,
That is funny. Thanks for the laugh.
Is this the story where the Metro officer "feared" for his life and discharged his weapon at a fleeing suspect? I said FLEEING suspect. I wonder if the DA would prosecute me if I discharged a weapon on a city street at a fleeing person? Will the officer be prosecuted?
