An unnamed off-duty Detroit police officer accidentally shot his girlfriend in Lyon Township last week, according to Oakland County Sheriff’s deputies.
According to the sheriff’s press release, “He indicated that he had previously unloaded his department issued firearm, believed it to still be unloaded, and was demonstrating building search techniques. He stated that while doing so he accidentally discharged the weapon, striking his girlfriend in the chest.”
The girlfriend confirmed the accidental shooting while at the hospital.
“The victim explained to detectives her boyfriend was showing her how to safely handle a firearm when her boyfriend accidentally shot her,” the sheriff’s report stated. |

Not an accident. Negligence.
Cardinal rules of gun safety:
1. Treat every firearm as if it is loaded, even if you know it isn't.
2. Never point a gun at something you don't want to destroy.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
Had he observed any one of them he wouldn't have shot her. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. — Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States; With a Preliminary Review of the Constitutional History of the Colonies and States before the Adoption of the Constitution [Boston, 1833]. |
