The Woman Deputy That was shot was a friend of mine and was sitting 4 chairs from me. If I had not gotten up to use the restroom then it would have been her husband that was sitting where she was when shot. The only thing I am thankful for in this situation is that my wife or son did not get hit.
What I am sad about is that immediately media and some agencies began to blame the Deputy for shooting herself. It is a little difficult to shoot through a chair and hit yourself in the knee.
Bad accident that should not have happened on the day we were paying tribute to a good Officer and Friend.
I hope she will be ok and return to full duty
