Authorities are releasing few details regarding a police officer's negligent discharge of a firearm inside a Bay County high school and parents are not happy.
The incident in question happened 12:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11, inside Bay City Western High and Middle School, 500 W. Midland Road in Auburn. A Bay County Sheriff's deputy who acts as the school resource officer, fired a gun inside a room. The deputy was in the room by himself. The bullet passed through at least one wall and struck a female teacher in the neck area, Michigan State Police Special 1st Lt. David Kaiser said.
The projectile did not break the teacher's skin and she was uninjured.

| As a responsible gun owner, I'm unhappy about it too. Lots of folks pushing gun rights with training an afterthought. Yes, each state can require a gun safety curriculum and provide incentives to take part. Learning safety doesn't need to infringe or be burdensome. Law enforcement sometimes can get cocky because everyone thinks they are trained to use their guns, but then shooting range safety isn't expected of them as it should be. Please, let's be responsible with our great liberty. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
