Former Kentucky Police Officer shoots himself while playing with handgun

Former Glasgow Police Officer Darrell Smith shot his finger off while shopping for a gun, and now he’s suing the story to recoup lost wages and medical expenses.

Smith was handling a.380 calibre handgun, according to a store clerk at Barren Outdoors, when the shooting happened last May.

The incident was captured on video surveillance, which shows the officer playing around with the gun, cocking it, and then seconds later, shooting off his fingers. 

According to BG Daily News, Wilson agreed to an early retirement, but did not receive workers compensation because the injury he sustained was not work related. On Friday he filed a lawsuit to cover his lost wages and medical bills. 

While Mr. Smith was looking at the firearm, believing it to be unloaded, the gun discharged causing serious physical injury to Smith,” the suit states.

It goes on to say that Smith, “exercised reasonable care and due diligence for his own physical well-being,” according to the Glasgow Times.

He's permanently disfigured. He went through a lot of pain and suffering. He's gone through several surgeries. He's got a lot of medical bills that have to be paid. It ended his career and he's going to have a lot of lost income,” said Smith’s attorney, Allen Simpson.

Todd Logsdon, co-owner of Barren Outdoors, told the BG Daily News that the footage from the security camera will show who was ultimately at fault.

I will say this – the whole incident is on video, so it should be easy for the court to reach a conclusion about the liability,” Logsdon told the publication.

" Ky cop shouldn't be allowed to be near firearms. "

This one should not even be trusted to be a crossing guard.
