A central promise of Donald Trump's presidential campaign was a 55-foot-tall,CNN affiliate KSBW. "Clearly in this incident protocols were not followed."


The shooting comes a day before students and teachers across the country participate on walk out to honor the 17 people killed at Stoneman Douglasand call for stricter gun control laws.

The student's father Fermin Gonzales said he understands that it was an accident but said that "somebody could have died."

"It's just so crazy, I can't believe it," he said.

Gonzales said Tuesday's incident changed his views about President Donald Trump's recent proposal to arm teachers.

"I was kinda leaning toward having armed people in school in case something happened. After today, I get why people say there should be no guns in schools," Gonzales said.

"If there's an accident -- people could die. If it's just one, that's more than enough," he added.

Guns in schools are illegal in California but there is an exception for peace officers or those granted specific permission.

Wow, this is such a coincidence!
 
From the article:
Dennis Alexander, who is Seaside City's mayor pro tem and a reserve officer with the Sand City Police Department, was teaching a lesson at Seaside High School in Seaside, California when he pointed his gun into the ceiling and accidentally fired it

Of all the people that should have known better... :story:
 
A 17-year-old student was injured by a bullet fragment or by debris that fell off the ceiling, Pridgen said.

The student's injuries appeared superficial and were not life threatening, police said.

If nobody can even tell if you got hit with a bullet fragment or ricochet debris, then you did not get shot by anyone.
 
Reverse school shooting - now it isn't you shooting up the school, but the school shooting up YOU!
 
This is probably the only time I’ll ever be willing to enterain the possibility that some part of what transpired was done on purpose.
 
This is why you don't make rash decisions based on the latest spectacular event. For every couch cuck or other school shooter who gets wall to wall coverage and is then forgotten days later, there's a dozen idiots who just don't know what the fuck they're doing and accidentally shoot someone, and probably a roughly equal number of plain old every day criminals.

He hit the ceiling and the debris fell almost harmlessly on a student. If he managed to pull that shot off on purpose without aiming he has a career in trickshot championships.
 
Sounds like the students convinced him to do a desk pop.

Also, realistic article title: "Fucking idiot local cop shoots classroom ceiling, only fatality is cop's career"

Not if all he was trying to do was shoot at the ceiling, and everything else was an accident. I’m not saying I believe that’s what happened, but a guest speaker with political connections in California pretending to accidentally discharge his gun in a classroom so CNN can run a sensationalized story about it doesn’t exactly push my suspension of disbelief as far as faking an entire school shooting would. We are talking about a state where a local politician helped criminals escape capture because they hate the president after all.

According to the article he was hit by a piece of debris/fragment that fell from the ceiling, not directly shot by the teacher. Just like CNN to exaggerate like this.

An accidental discharge always has the potential to be fatal though. Now, that guy was teaching a public safety class? And he is also a reserve police officer? The whole incident is bristling with competency.
 
Ever see some morons on the road and wonder how are they legally allowed to drive?

Share a target range with cops, you see the damned same thing with guns. Aside trying to pick their nose with a barrel, the poor following of the 4 rules, aim and worse of all theory of defensive/offensive shooting is staggering.

>mfw I've out shot cops in 2 gun matches hung over af dressed like a hobo using a bolt action rifle and semi compact. It's not an isolated event.

Absent an armed attacker, there's absolutely no reason why this teacher should have had an unholstered gun in that classroom. My issue is with the thread title. Nobody got shot.

Hate to be autsimo, but this was a NEGLIGENT discharge not accidental.

For those who aren't gun spergs,owners etc.
The difference is one is mechanical error, one is user.
This was a user error from what the reporting sounds. It's super rare to have a gun just "go off", things like dropping it could do it but aside taking cover from a bomb or being shot at why are you not holding your weapon properly?
Negligent discharges is pulling trigger when you didn't mean to mostly.
The most common way to cause an accidental discharge is have a close bolt firing weapon (almost all) and fire a fuck ton first. The chamber gets so hot to "cook" off a round. That's why any shooter, knows failure is possible, rule #1 of gun safety is point the weapon in a safe direction so even if you just threw 120 rounds in rapid fire through it, as you put more ammo in, it's safely down the range incase it cooks off.

I agree with @Some JERK there's no reason to pull a weapon out in a school. While being 200% pro gun, it's not a place to show off your carry piece. If the school had a shooting team or class for example (these used to be a thing) you double check weapon is unloaded, and pass it to someone the first thing they do is check themselves before even giving it a point/shoulder to see how it feels (and still in a safe direction even though it's just been checked 3 times) Being, shooting in schools for sports isn't a thing anymore, I can't see one reason pulling a fire arm out in a school is wise, benifitcial or apprortite, aside stopping an active thread.

By ''accidental'', I did refer to the user's fault, but your post is meaningful nonetheless. All in all, this stuff should be done in a suitable space and under proper measures.

Yes, you're right on that. Typical journalism hysteria.
