Authorities in southwest Iowa's Pottawattamie County have released more details where one police officer shot another. Carter Lake Police Chief Shawn Kannedy reportedly fired a gun inside the police department Wednesday afternoon. The bullet hit Sergeant Dan Driver in the lower torso, beneath his bullet-proof vest.

Driver was put in a police cruiser and taken to an Omaha Hospital following the 2:45 p.m. shooting. He is expected to recover. In a press release, city officials said Kannedy, Driver, and a third officer had been discussing firearms, when the chief accidentally discharged one round from his weapon.

The Pottawattamie County Sheriff's Office is investigating the incident. Sheriff Jeff Danker says the gun may have malfunctioned, but many details about the shooting remained unclear late Wednesday afternoon. Kannedy -- who has declined to comment on the matter -- has been placed on administrative leave.

Oopsy!!!

The "gun malfunctioned"....yeah, that's the ticket!

How surprised will we be if they find ANYTHING other than a "gun malfunction" to be the cause?  Couldn't be a "failure to keep his booger hook off the bang switch malfunction", could it?

My thoughts.  I tried to listen to tt this morning, but his tight *** boss won't allow music online, so I don't know what was being played at the time.

I remember when a moose wandered into our area and got hit by a car at two in the morning.  You could not turn on any station without hearing the Rocky and Bullwinkle theam or a popular song, can't remember the name, but the chorus was going for a walk at or after midnight.

Does anyone else think it is time for tt to provide the cheeze whiz in the corner for that shameless plug of his morning job

I used to live around there and I'm surprised that they have a Chief and a Sergeant.  That would imply they have Officers, too.  Carter Lake, IA is really small, 2 sq. miles.  It is actually now on the Nebraska side of the Missouri River between downtown Omaha and the Omaha airport.  It is an oxbow area that was in Iowa until 1877 when the river’s course changed.

I can hear the Chief getting done asking, “Ok, now we all remember the four rules of gun safety, right?”

BANG!

We could caption this also.

"What do you mean you don't like Glocks? They're the bestest most safest gun around. Look, there isn't even any safety to worry (BANG) about. Hey, you O.K.? Crap. Here's the story......."
