Hope I didn't misrepresent the incident with my title. If I did, perhaps someone could change the title to be more appropriate?

"It just sounds like a stupid mistake. Unfortunately, stuff happens and people die."
William Glucksman

Sad. We are all one mistake away from tragedy, and the reality is that the mistake may not be ours.

I saw that quote and thought it was pretty stupid. First I thought it was from a member of law enforcement and thought it was really stupid but then I realized it was a local citizen so I just kind of ignored it.

Definitely a tragic event for all involved. Obviously for the victim but has to be a bad deal for the guy that pulled the trigger as well.

"Why did he aim the gun at her and not off to the side," said William Glucksman, a part-time city resident.

Better question is why was a loaded gun used for training? There is a reason for the inexpensive colorful training props.

I couldn't tell from the article if the shots fired were live ammunition or if it was that "simunition" stuff.

Either way, probably not the best idea when civilians are involved. Should have been "blue guns" only if you ask me.

This happened last year (August, it looks like from the article)... tried to find discussion about it from back then, but can't find right key words...

But I recall having a discussion on here about it.

That article was pretty weak and hard to read. The only information was at the end of the article and had to get past all the ads.

Tragic

A discussion? Anything LE related here, rarely stays a discussion long .

Sorry. I thought this was a recent event. Apparently, reading comprehension isn't high on my list of skills I guess. Lol.

Who can blame you with that article? So many words, so little truth (or info).
