Clearly unsafe for Boston civilians to qualify there for their LTC every six years.

The media sucks. They try to make every non event sound like a fire fight. Why is this even news?

 

[willbdavis]

I can't tell you how many ricochets I've been hit by over the years. No big deal. That's one of the reasons you should wear eye protection.

Its an indoor range correct? Almost every time I have been shooting inside while other people have been shooting i've been hit with pieces of jacket.

 

[bill o]

It's outdoors with dirt berm backstop. I'm surprised that there was a ricochet there with enough oomph to really hurt someone.

It's an outdoor range.
Northeastern Univ officer

A Northeastern University Police officer was shot tonight by a ricocheted bullet on Moon Island, police said.

The injury happened about 5:55 p.m., said Boston Police. The officer was being taken to Brigham and Womens Hospital for treatment of a non-life threatening injury.

Moon Island off Quincy is where the Boston Police Department has a gun range used to train and qualify police officers.

A call to two Northeastern University spokesmen was not returned.

Great. So they'll just put all LTC applications in Boston on hold until they can build a new facility.

They don't qualify for worker's comp and medical retirement if they get nicked by a flying jacket.

Don't journalists need any training anymore, or editors for that matter? Was she shot or hit by a ricocheted bullet?

Getting hit by a jacket is not 'getting shot'.

Depends on how many school buses the bullet went through first and if the gun had a hair trigger and used high capacity clips

They should charge him with a crime. -Just like a civilian. Would WE be under more scrutiny? I think So. Let the cops be under the same laws as us. Until then, piss on 'em. I'm sick of cops getting special treatment.

Maybe when cops are under the same duress as civilians for every firearm related incident things will change. -Something tells me he won't be declared "unsuitable."

Or if it was an infra-red heat seeking incendiary cop killer shell

Notice how they don't mention this is also where the civilians do their testing? Wouldn't want to alarm anyone.

On a morning report on Channel 4, they neglected to bention that it was the BPD range. If I'd not known it, I'd have thought it was just any other club (location notwithstanding

Almost seemed like they were trying to disavow the PD connection....


Maybe I have to air our the tinfoil hat a bit....

 

[Bob J]

Was she french?

 

[PeacefulMuslim]

Why would you contact the news media in the first place? Maybe it was a "Fast & Furious" linked firearm!!!
