Teen Shot, Deputies Injured In Orange County
quote:
A 16-year-old driving a stolen vehicle was shot by deputies Thursday after they followed him into a convenience store he was about to rob, investigators said. An officer was injured during the shooting at the Chevron gas station on Silverstar Road and Belco Drive Thursday morning…
…Investigators said the teen suspect had a handgun. The deputies fired at the suspect, hitting him at least once...
…Another deputy, 35-year-old Hope Cieszynski, from a fugitive unit happened to be in the restroom and was struck by a gun shot or possibly by shrapnel in the left knee when a round fired by fellow deputies went through the wall.
It appears that the department may need to do a refresher course for the officers in reference to “the four rules” of firearms safety. Let me list them now for those who are not clear about them:
Rule # 1
Treat all guns as if they are loaded.
Rule # 2
Never let the muzzle of a gun point at anything you do not want to destroy or kill.
Rule # 3
Keep your finger straight and off the trigger.
Rule # 4
Be absolutely sure of your target, and what is behind it.
Freindly fire isn't really very friendly. and collateral damage is just a nice way to say that someone is toast because of someone's mis-calculation.
