Negligent Discharge

One of the "Only Ones" professional enough to carry handguns demonstrates yet again their superior firearms safety skills.

An off-duty state trooper was taken to Cooper University Hospital in Camden on Thursday night after accidentally shooting himself in the hand.

The trooper, whose name was not released, was cleaning a gun at home when it fired, said Sgt. Stephen Jones, a state police spokesman.

All snark aside, the officer was luckily not seriously injured- and the importance of always practising safe handling skills is again underlined for one and all.
