AUGUSTA (AP) -- A 22-year-old Marine from Maine who spent two months as a scout sniper in Iraq is listed in serious condition after he was accidentally shot by a law enforcement officer during a training exercise in Florida.
Corporal Eric Verhille was shot in the chest last week while working as an instructor during a training session for a dozen officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
According to initial reports, four officers with long guns and handguns cleared one room and entered a second in which a shot was fired and Verhille was hit.
The Marine's father, Gary Verhille, a high school teacher in Gardiner, said his son was in a situation where live ammunition was being fired, and one trainer took him for a target.

Why is FL Fish and Wildlife getting SWAT training?
