In Newton County, east of Atlanta, a deputy was shot while on the training range. Stories aren't completely settle as to what happened. Best guess from the different news sources is he was shot by another deputy and was hit in the leg or knee.
ACTUALLY, according to the AJC, it was another deputy's gun that shot him. Hmmm. Wonder who was holding that gun when it just up and fired?
From the AJC this evening:
A Newton County sheriff’s deputy was shot accidentally Friday afternoon by another deputy’s gun, police said.
The deputy, whose name was not released, was taken to Atlanta Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries, according to Capt. Keith Crumb with the Newton County Sheriff’s Office.
And yet again the basic rules. Somebody violated them. And since the gun can't read, I'm betting it wasn't at fault.
