No details about what happened but it’s obvious someone broke a rule. Just a reminder that training with live weapons is dangerous and you can never disregard any safety measures.

Be safe out there.

It's customary in some agencies for law enforcement to wear their vests while training. It's not the first time someone has been shot during training. I've seen more than one gun go off when it wasn't supposed to.

Shot twice? That's bonkers!

Well, some like their training as real as possible. Dead after 2 hits counts…you even get to practice watching someone die, you just shot.

Hind sight is always 20/20 for those that don’t already know it’s stupid but they probably got the idea from ~ 1:20 of this video.
