Repeat after me; I will never use my service weapon as a training aid! I will never .....
"When a student walked up to the officer to see if the gun could be pulled from the holster, the student’s finger slipped into a slight opening in the holster and just behind the trigger. The bullet shot into the classroom floor."
I'll bite - just how DOES one fire a gun by putting a finger behind the trigger?
The Pressleys said some of the fragments hit their son in the chest with sufficient force to knock him out of his seat. X-rays did not show any penetration of the fragments, but he was diagnosed with a contusion to the chest.
Diane Pressley said her son has had difficulty sleeping since the incident.
I agree with Master Blaster, the kid should have never been allowed to touch the gun. just yesterday as i was working my post as a armed guard a young boy ( 8 or 9 ) came up to me and asked if i had a gun, which is usally covered by my right arm. I said " why yes i do " and he then asked to see it. I moved my right arm a little so he could see the gun, his mom and dad thought it was neat to see there son and someone in uniform talking,and that someone took an interest in there sons questions. As he saw the gun he went " Cool". then he asked other questions and i answered them, mom and dad happy at this point. then the younster asked if he could touch my gun ( in the holster ) at that point i said "no, you may not." in a nice way with out hurting the young boys feeling. the Mom and Dad at that point came un-glued, they said i was been mean to not let him touch the gun,"what was he going to do take it out and shoot someone". and they left the store quickly ( mad at me ) can you believe that? I'm sorry but I'm not going to let a kid or anyone else touch my weapon, that is not safe.
In the statement, the Pressleys said school resource officer Robert Miller had been asked by a student to do a quick draw. After pulling the gun partway out of the holster twice, the Pressleys said a student asked to pull the gun out of the holster.
That pretty much sums it all up.what we have here is an idiot with their finger on the trigger.
