ALBANY, Ga. (AP) -- A police officer was shot in the wrist when the service weapon that she kept under her pillow went off.

Albany police Sgt. Kinshishi Adams, 34, was lying in bed Sunday when a .40 caliber pistol she kept under her pillow discharged and struck her in her left wrist, Dougherty County Police Chief Don Cheek said.

Adams was listed in good condition Tuesday at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, hospital spokeswoman Valerie Benton said.

"She sustained an extremely serious wound to the left wrist and underwent surgery (Sunday) night," Cheek said. "Everything indicates it was just a freak accident. She apparently sleeps with a weapon under her pillow, and somehow it discharged.

"She was by herself at the time. There is no indication that anything other than what she said happened."

The incident was being investigated by county police since it happened in their jurisdiction but has been forwarded to Albany police, which is conducting an internal investigation. Albany police did not immediately return a phone message for comment Tuesday.

Both Cheek and Albany police stressed the importance of gun safety in the wake of the accident.

"We train on gun safety and we stress gun safety, but even the people who handle guns for a living, accidents happen," Cheek said. "We just stress that firearms are not toys, and even people experienced with firearms occasionally have accidents."

Wonder what it was.. Glock maybe?

"It just went off"

Nocturnal discharge?

People really sleep with a gun under their pillow?

Yea, can you believe it?? Me, I flip and flop too much, I KNOW that I would end up shooting someone if I kept it under my pillow.

Hell, I have a hard enough time just keeping my pillow under my head when I'm sleeping. Don't even want to think about the gun.

I'm always highly skeptical of these "it just went off" stories.

gun vault mini on the nightstand might be a better option for her.

Nocturnal discharge?

Ok, now that was funny.

I hate it when primer compound reaches its radioactive half-life and spontaneously sets off the round in a stationary gun. Really sucks.

Static discharge from the satin sheets?

The 2nd amendment was a guy with "Bear Arms"

As in "the right to Bare Arms"

 

[News Shooter]

Oh thank you

The 2nd amendment was a guy with "Bear Arms"

As in "the right to Bare Arms"

I thought it meant gun owners were gorillas

THANK YOU!!! I was waiting for someone else to say something.

Is she related to the Philly cop who handed her loaded Glock to a classroom of 4th-graders and almost shot one in the head?

Or the cop who fired her service weapon in the Dairy Queen and then threw it out the window of her car while on the freeway?

Maybe the tooth fairy?

Talk about waking up with a bang!

Correct, I have recently found an authentic picture that has proven to me that all us gun nuts are and were wrong about the bear arms part of the second amendment. As you can see from this picture of Mr. Jefferson and the other founding fathers.

That was a funny episode too.

I though I had the right to keep and arm bears.

Nature did that quite well, already. Your offerings would be superfluous.

Keeping your gun under your pillow is stupid and dangerous.























I keep mine in my underwear.

 

[vellnueve]

That's my deep CCW gun.
