Parker county Deputy shot..

[SmTx]

The only other twist this story could have is he was poaching like the game warden that did and got shot

[muzzlebrake]

Still trying figure out the 2 shots fired. Did the deputy's gun accidentally go off twice?

[AntlerCollector]

Heel be OK

He should run for public office. He has a leg up on the competition now

He was returning fire

He may be in a jam once the news comes out that the taxpayers have to foot his bill.

I dont think he can walk back his statement.

Im afraid its adidas for the deputy.

From NBC-5 website:

The investigation found Turner was shot by his own backup gun, which malfunctioned, Fowler said. Turner was shot in the foot and was treated and released from a Fort Worth hospital.

Fowler said he has six years of experience and has been with Parker County since April 2016.

"This investigation has led us down several avenues," Fowler said. "This incident was not an accidental discharge. It was a weapons malfunction from a concealed backup weapon which was secured and holstered on his person."

Video from the deputy's body camera showed two shots were fired with a bullet striking the approaching deputy in the foot, a sheriff's spokesman said.

Fowler said it is not clear how the gun malfunctioned but said the video showed the deputy’s hands were not on the gun when it discharged.

Is it possible that the backup weapon "went off on it's own" (twice) and in the moment officer did not realize at first that it was his own gun that shot him?

Nailed it!

[flywise]

Lol, that's nutz

[Still Hunter]

And we think we are having a bad day! This poor guy is marked for life!

[monsterspike]

im glad they caught the guy.

[Thumper]

im glad they caught the guy.

Winner..............lol!

I bet the shots sounded muffled on the body cam and that's why it was reported as a suppressor. Glad he was treated then released and he's ok. FYI police are responsible for 85% of the accidental discharges, it happens all too often, but luckily the foot/hand is the most targeted, second is the TV.

[chehunt]

This doesn't add up...Highly unlikely story of gun going off twice with no hands on it....I call BS

[cricman]

2 shot pocket gun, a la Heizer Double Tap in an ankle rig. Just a hunch.

From the title of the thread, I was afraid he might have one foot in the grave!

Wow! Locked and loaded takes on a whole new meaning. I would love to know what kind of pistol he had!
