If I remember correctly, she touched off another round while holstering. If I'm correct, I bet she was so flustered with the first round that she forgot to remove her finger from the trigger before holstering. As silly as it seems, that too has been the cause of a number of AD's.Excaliber wrote:This may very well be a case of startle response with the marked unit with sirens going full blast pulling up on her from behind. Of course it wouldn't cause any damage if the finger wasn't inside the trigger guard in the first place.ELB wrote:Example of "accidently" (almost) shooting the suspect and/or partner:

IIRC correctly, she "only" hit the ground, but it looks like it hit right beside the suspect's head.
In the case referenced by the OP, it seems unlikely this will be a "good shoot" if the police brass are talking about "accidents" right out of the gate...
