ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - An Orange County Sheriff's Office patrol corporal wounded himself Wednesday when he accidentally fired his weapon during a training exercise, officials said.
Sheriff John Mina said the deputy was at a department training facility on Wewahootee Road around 10:30 a.m. when he accidentally shot himself.
"The deputies on the scene and the firefighters who responded provided excellent care based on their training," Mina said. "We were able to stop the bleeding right away and get him transported here to Orlando Health."
Mina said the deputy was awake and alert after the incident.
He said the Sheriff's Office employee has been with the department since 2011 and is currently working as a patrol corporal.
A public relations officer with the Sheriff's Office said the deputy sheriff was at a department training facility on Wewahootee Road around 10:30 a.m. when he accidentally shot himself.
The sheriff's deputy was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center for treatment. He was awake and alert after the incident.
The Sheriff's Office employee has been with the department since 2011 and is currently working as a patrol corporal.
Sheriff John Mina said the deputy is in stable condition and was shot in the lower half of his body.
"Anytime there’s an incident like this, there is an internal investigation," he said. "Then, we look at it from a training perspective. What exactly happened? What went wrong? What we can do to fix it going forward?"
Mina said an internal investigation will be conducted, which is standard procedure when a deputy fires their weapon.
A similar incident happened in June at the same gun range.
In that case, an Orange County corrections officer accidentally shot himself in the leg.
Mina dismissed any connection, saying it was two different incidents and two different agencies.

Limit Barney to one bullet secured in his shirt pocket.
“Sheriff John Mina said the deputy is in stable condition and was shot in the lower half of his body.”
Hopefully preventing him from reproducing.

What a nothing burger article. Zero information... and because of that FACT, the article writer felt the need to re-write what little information they had, TWICE. How many times did he need to report the LE idiot, was a Corporal starting at 2011.

“HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A 29-year-old Houston police officer is in guarded condition after he was shot in a gun battle with a suspect during a night of violence.
Gunshots rang out at Tristan Street at Scott Street around 10:26 p.m. Thursday in southeast Houston.”
This was a better written story... and you post no info articles, like Yahoo News does, daily, designed to inflame and indoctrinate the readers.

Glock. It's what happens when you're in battery with no safety and a 5-pound trigger pull.

Why aren't you out protesting in front of abortion clinics?

Throughout centuries, protests have been an article of faith that served well in moments of sharp civic discontentment when everyone took to the streets demanding change. But now, it is the smartphones and social media that have become the modern day instruments of protest and made electronic protesting much easier than the old fashion way.
So, I trust with your weakened mental capacity that you can fully understand that a protest is not a productive use of political attention in this day and time. It has become just a wee bit of social theatre that some people choose to perform as they try to make themselves feel virtuous, useful and think they are in the right – hoping they will be seen on evening television news cycle. You just said you have done it – therefore you have experienced what I am describing and definitely know those feelings – Right?
Nope, I never said any such thing. That was just a gratuitous remark you pulled out of your ass. You really need to stop continuously doing this sort of thing.
Tell me, EXACTLY what that changed. Nothing – Right?
A hypocrite is defined as a person who preaches one thing and does another. You are one confusing individual. You say I preached one thing and did another – while at the same time you are asking me “what have I done.” Words have meanings. If you don't know how to use a word, then for Heavens sake, take time to look it up.
To answer your question, I quote for you a statement that can be regarded as a fact by the great political philosopher Cyndi Lauper, where Cyndi said: “Money changes everything.” I hastily point out to you that nowhere is this proverb no more useful and taken to heart than in the political arena for deciding change. For there is where billions of dollars are collected and spent with the knowledge that money is a crucial determinant in whether or not action will be taken.
Salute,

Anyone who takes advice from or cites an 80's has-been pop star as a fount of wisdom is seriously delusional.
Or just as dumb as a box of rocks.

You definitely need to perform an self-analysis of effective time utilization.

If Dicktard was born 60 years sooner, he’d have been just like Casey Viner, of North College Hill, Ohio. A lazy pothead, that sits on the fucking couch, GAMING all night and sleeping all day.... and for entertainment, “swats” other gamers because he really could give a shit about the police that have to respond to his bullshit... because he’s the most important government hating asshole, he knows.
