Police: Two men injured in shooting accident at Keene (New Hampshire) range

https://www.sentinelsource.com/news/loc ... R1qFIh15Es

Two safety officers went to the hospital Sunday with gunshot wounds after one accidentally fired a gun at the other at an event at the shooting range on Ferry Brook Road, Keene police said.

Officers responded to the range, run by the Cheshire County Shooting Sports Education Foundation, at about 11:40 a.m., according to Keene police Sgt. Collin L. Zamore.

One safety officer apparently attempted to give a demonstration using a dummy weapon, Zamore said, but grabbed a real firearm by mistake. The man fired the gun while his hand was in front of it, according to Zamore, and the bullet traveled through his hand and into the abdomen of a second safety officer.

So, at that range, how do you get appointed a "safety officer" :?:

If you cant tell the difference between a training dummy and a real firearm, maybe you shouldn't even be on the range at all.

Most training dummies get painted orange or some other bright color to remove all doubt. :roll:

Just a guess. The training dummy was not used by the 2 dummies training.

So there was three dummies there :roll:

It happened a few years ago over here too.
Professionals with guns, can't beat them!

I was at an air port once. An officer had a HK thingy swinging off his neck to my side as I cued.
I politely asked him to turn the muzzle away from me. He said " it's ok". I said " all the same please". He walked off.
