Shooting Accidents an on-the-job Risk for Kansas City Police Officers

Kansas City police officers are already risking their lives enough out on patrol. They never know when a routine traffic stop is going to turn into a potentially dangerous situation if the suspect pulls a fire arm. While police officers are properly trained in how to handle themselves as well as their own weapons in times like this, it's those training sessions that sometimes turn dangerous themselves.

Last week in Salina, Kansas, a Kansas Highway Patrol officer was injured when he was accidentally shot during a traing exercise at the Salina Highway Patrol Shooting Range. Right now it is not known if the gun shot wound was self inflicted or if the officer was shot by another officer in training. The injuries are not expected to be life threatening and an investigation will clear up the details.
