A pedantic subtlety that's absolutely lost on a newspaper. I'm just glad they chose to assign blame accordingly "He accidentally shot himself." rather than anthropomorphize the gun "the firearm discharged. " Baby steps.Negligent discharge.

An officer reportedly accidently shot himself today at a gun range in Westport on Adirondack Lane that is used by local police departments.
According to an officer who was on scene, an off-duty officer shot himself in the thigh with a 40 caliber bullet accidentally as he was putting in or taking his gun out of the holster.
The incident occurred just after noon.
yeah, the law suit is inevitable.When is he going to blame the Glock or Sig?
Adirondack Lane is the Fall River police departments range.
Jokes? There's some great jokes...Nothing good comes out of a .40
"There is NO SUCH THING as an accidental shooting."Repeat after me:
"There is NO SUCH THING as an accidental shooting."
The word is 'negligent'
(Unless there was a mechanical malfunction)
"There is NO SUCH THING as an accidental shooting."
"Unless, of course, it's a mechanical malfunction, in which case it's an ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING."
Hilarious.
I don't disagree. It's just that you stated an absolute ("NO SUCH THING as accidental shooting") and then said "Of course here (mechanical malfunction) is an example of this thing I said didn't exist."Sounds negligent to me, in so much as he shot himself while putting it in or out of its holster. Probably had his finger on the trigger.
Depends on which definition you are using unless, of course, you are a sovereign linguist who does not accept Webster's definitions as valid.Police are civilians, regardless of how much they want not to be.
I'd go so far as to say he likely negligently shot himself.This.
The gun didn't "accidentally discharge," he "accidentally shot himself." Quite a refreshing change, actually.
Me, too. But my point was most papers report "the gun went off" or "the firearm discharged" as if the gun was animated. It's refreshing to at least say "This guy shot himself."I'd go so far as to say he likely negligently shot himself.
