An accidental shooting by a retired Gary police officer left him and his partner wounded as they rode together in a city car Saturday afternoon, Lt. Samuel Roberts said. Shannon...placed a loaded magazine into the newly purchased handgun then put his left hand over the barrel when the weapon discharged. Leavy was hit in his right side after the same bullet pierced Shannonâ€™s left hand, which he said was over the barrel of his new Glock 22, a .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol, the report states.

Now he can take an eye chart test while covering both his eyes. Srsly, glad they're alive, but watch the trigger on those Glocks.

I know many LEOs carry Glocks, but it seems whenever we read about an unintentional discharge by a LEO it's always a Glock.

Why?

Ahhhhhh. GAGlocker, that's directed especially at youse...

and then you see an article where someone says that one the reasons that they don't
like armed citizens is because that don't have the skills or training of professional LEO's.
