Nassau police recruit accidentally shoots himself in leg during training, officials say
A Nassau County Police Department recruit accidentally shot himself Wednesday, "piercing" his thigh and calf during a training session at the county-owned shooting range in Uniondale, police said.
The police recruit, whose name and age were withheld by the department, was attending firearms training at the Nassau County Rifle & Pistol Range when he "accidentally discharged" a single round from his service weapon during a drill, police said.
The recruit was taken to a hospital with nonlife threatening injuries, police said.
The recruit is a member of the department's latest police academy class of 69 trainee officers, who were sworn in on Oct. 3.

Oops!!! I am actually surprised something like this doesn't happen more often, especially considering the numbers going through the city acedemy.

I guess the Outdoor Range is still out of service mechanical.

Why were they at the indoor range. I was at our range in Hempstead not to long ago and just about everything seemed like it was working. |

And some people complain that we have to wear vests at the range. Speedy recovery to the recruit!

I can't see them taking him back after spotting himself in the leg, not to mention all the potential problems with qualifying at the range. |
