Wisconsin man arrested for shooting at people inside his stolen car
At about 6:15 p.m., Madison Police officers were dispatched to a report of shots fired at PLS Check Cashing, 1907 S. Park St., Lt. Eugene Woehrle said in a report. A 30-year-old Madison man saw his stolen car at the scene, confronted the people in the vehicle and the person in the driver’s seat drew a handgun from their waistband, Woehrle said. The owner of the stolen vehicle fled back to the car he was driving and got a gun from the center counsel and fired multiple times at the stolen car as it fled the parking lot through the terrace, over the sidewalk, and through the median, Woehrle said. The shooter was arrested on tentative charges of first-degree recklessly endangering safety and carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.

A city police officer will not face charges after firing his service pistol at another officer at an Edmonton Police Service (EPS) training centre in 2019.
On June 7, 2019, members of the city police tactics training unit and firearms training unit were finishing up work at the EPS Constable William Nixon Memorial Training Centre, 12950 9 St. About 10 officers were in a “bullpen” area unwinding, with some of them bouncing lasers from SIRT laser training pistols off mirrors and onto each other, ASIRT said in a Monday news release.
The SIRT laser pistol is an imitation firearm paired with a vest and technology used for training. While it resembles a pistol, it does not have a functioning barrel or discharge ammunition. The SIRT pistol’s upper portion and trigger are bright red, compared to the Glock service pistol issued to officers which has an all matte black body.

Special Forces pulls new pistols from service after soldier injured in misfire
A member of Canada's elite special forces counterterrorism unit was wounded last fall when a newly-purchased handgun, with a history of misfires and injuries in the U.S., inexplicably went off during a training exercise at an Ottawa-area range, CBC News has learned. The soldier, belonging to Joint Task Force 2 (JTF-2), was hit in the leg and received a flesh wound as a result of the accident, which took place Nov. 5, 2020 on a firing range at Dwyer Hill, the unit's principal base. Consequently, the military has withdrawn all the brand new SIG Sauer P320s from service and members of the unit will — for the time being — rely on their old model SIG Sauer P226 pistols.
