An off-duty southern New Jersey police officer suffered a minor hand wound when a pistol he was unloading at his home accidentally discharged.
Gloucester Township police say the shooting occurred just before 3 a.m. Sunday.
The officer's name was not disclosed, but authorities said he serves on the Gloucester force and the weapon involved was a pistol that he owns. The discharge occurred at his Bromley Drive residence in the township.
The officer was treated at a hospital and released a short time later. No other injuries were reported.
Authorities said the shooting remains under investigation.
One of the select few who are allowed to carry in New Jersey coming home at 3am? I might be wrong, but it sounds an awful lot like a late night out partying. I'm guessing he learned a valuable lesson here. And it'll leave a mark....
ReplyDeleteI'd say it's safe to assume that alcohol plays a part in most NDs.
DeleteSo what are you doing to stop the flow of alcohol?
DeleteA tough job with hillbillies like you making it in your backyards.
DeleteNo, Jim, I brew beer in my kitchen.
DeleteThanks for confirming that you are a hillibilly.
DeleteSomewhere, Jim, you've acquired the mistaken impression that being a hillbilly is bad. I grew up in the foothills of North Carolina. My ancestors were Scots-Irish, among other things. That's where I come from.
DeleteNow how about you make a point?
I presume you brew beer in order to drink it. You like the effect, I suppose. It lessens your inhibitions and dulls the senses just enough to be enjoyable. That's assuming you NEVER overdo it. Already you're an irresponsible gun owner, Greg. Do you see that?
DeleteYes Greg, I've met the "Deliverance" hillbillies. They are retarded and love misusing guns, getting drunk, and being as stupid as possible. That description fits you perfectly. Although I like the anon who calls you a lying criminal coward, that description fits you well also.
DeleteMikeb, contrary to your bizarre beliefs, a person can be a gun owner and drink alcohol without being irresponsible. I brew beer because I enjoy the flavor of good beer, instead of the common swill, and I can experiment with the recipe. But you seem to believe that anyone who has a drink while there's a gun in the house will inevitably play with the gun. Have you ever sought help for your magical thinking?
DeleteOf course Greg promotes using guns and alcohol together, he is a proven lying idiot.
DeleteGreg, guns and alcohol DO NOT go together, period. You cannot convince any reasonable person that drinking while having access to a gun will make you a more responsible gun owner, and if it doesn't make you more responsible it necessarily makes you less so.
