DEA Agent Shoots Self During Gun Safety Class
POSTED: 11:27 am EDT April 30, 2004
ORLANDO, Fla. – A federal drug agent shot himself in the leg during a gun
safety presentation to children and his bosses are investigating.
The Drug Enforcement Administration agent, whose name was not released, was
giving a gun safety presentation to about 50 adults and students organized
by the Orlando Minority Youth Golf Association, witnesses and police said.
He drew his .40-caliber duty weapon and removed the magazine, according to
the police report. Then he pulled back the slide and asked someone in the
audience to look inside the gun and confirm it wasn’t loaded, the report
said.
Witnesses said the gun was pointed at the floor and when he released the
slide, one shot fired into the top of his left thigh.
“The kids screamed and started to cry,” said Vivian Farmer, who attended the
presentation with her 13-year-old nephew.
“Everyone was pretty shaken up,” Farmer said. “But the point of gun safety
hit home. Unfortunately, the agent had to get shot. But after seeing that,
my nephew doesn’t want to have anything to do with guns.”
The agent was treated at Orlando Regional Medical Center after the April 9
shooting and returned to work, DEA special agent Joe Kilmer said.
Police ruled the shooting was an accident, but the DEA headquarters in
Washington was still investigating, Kilmer said.
Did anybody stop to think that maybe the gun had blanks in it and maybe the officer fired the gun on purpose to illustrate to the children how simple it is for a gun to go off accidently?
I hope that was in the basement

I think that was “I’m the only one professional enough to carry a glock 40”, which is even funnier

No, seeings how there is an AP news story to back it.
Rumor on the LEO boards is the guy is now a security gaurd in Canada…
That’s quite a drop from DEA agent.
“Bring that other gun out, Brian.”
