That was a 1 shot kill. What kind of bullet was it? Anyone know?

Are you retarded? Show a little respect......or none will be shown to you.

Any volunteers for taking Junior Commando to the woodshed?

don't know if the other guy was making fun or not. but i think wondering what bullet it was or where she was hit are something worth knowing, perhaps at a later point.

is there a more recent link anyone has to this story?

TimRB - I'd accept your submission,... if this were a perfect world.

As a side note, I love how people speak of a sidearm with respect to LEO as just a "tool". As if to imply, and minimize it's importance like it's a rusty ratchet set thrown in the bottom of a mechanics tool chest.

I would not hire any mechanic that treated there tools with such disrespect.

If not a tool, what is it then?

This was a sad thread to start with.

One student, who was to work for a town and region famous for upholding the RKBA, died tragically in training, due to the negligence of one instructor. That instructor was someone charged with the safety of his students, and not only did he violate that trust, but he actively destroyed the life of one of his students.

I am made sick by those who here wish to make this a political statement about police. This had NOTHING to do with gun control policies or agendas. It was the most personal of lapses, with the most tragic of results.

The lesson to learn here is that it only takes one of us a second of lapse in attention to safety rules, to kill person.

Well, two lessons: Safety rules are there for a reason. We can argue all day long about many things, but does anyone here disagree that this tragedy would have been avoided by observing The Four Rules?

As there's far more heat than light, I'm closing this thread.
