Albuquerque Cop Shot Accidentally by Fellow Officer

Local news reports

More details in an accidental shooting of an Albuquerque police officer by a fellow cop were revealed Tuesday.

Officer Scott Maher was hit in the leg when Sgt. Darcy McDermeit accidentally fired her gun Tuesday night.
The two were searching for a suspect with a rifle at a building near Old Coors and West Central.
Maher has been treated and released from the hospital.

Sergeant McDermeit, a 17-year APD officer, is on desk duty during an internal investigation.

That "desk duty" should be permanent, no question about it.

What do you think?

  1. I'm rather surprised that you aren't bemoaning that no criminal charges have been filed and the officer hasn't been arrested.
