I don't think they learned the 4 rules of safe gun handling. Or was it another "Spontaneous ignition" just like poor ole Plexico Buress???

Bandera County Jailer Shot

POSTED: Sunday, September 20, 2009

BANDERA, TEXAS -- An investigation is underway into a shooting that sent a county jail guard in Bandera County to the hospital.

According to Bandera County Commissioner Bobby Harris, the incident happened around 4 or 5 a.m. Sunday morning inside the jail when a Bandera County deputy shot the jailer in the leg.

The shooting was apparently the result of horseplay or some sort of prank. Its unclear where exactly inside the jail the shooting occurred, but Harris didn’t think it happened in an area where inmate are housed.

Harris is now demanding the Texas Rangers be brought into conduct an independent investigation into the shooting.

“It’s a serious situation and it needs to be, whatever caused it needs to be, we need to get to the bottom of it and make sure this doesn’t ever happen again,” said Harris.

Neither of the men involved in the shooting have been identified.

Its also not clear what charges, if any, the deputy may face. He has been placed on administrative duty.
