    Despite knowing better, every instance I’m aware of involving an off-duty LEO shooting a family member in error has involved searching in the dark with a handgun and no light at all.

    In this particular case, the adult son who was shot did not reside with the Ofc .
    Slightly tongue in cheek.

    My point was of the 2 agreeably negligent acts, id prefer to have used a light on a non-hostile than to have triggered a non hostile.

    Gastonia Police officer shot while executing FBI warrant in north Charlotte
    An FBI task force was executing a search warrant on Oakburn Drive when the officer was shot.


    CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A Gastonia Police officer was shot while assisting federal investigators execute a search warrant at a home in north Charlotte Friday morning, police said.

    According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a group from the FBI's Safe Streets Task Force was executing a search warrant in the 4500 block of Oakburn Drive around 6 a.m. when shots were fired. An FBI spokesperson said the officer who was shot is an officer with the Gastonia Police Department. He was taken to a hospital with injuries that aren't considered life-threatening. Investigators have not identified the officer who was shot.

    The FBI said the group executing the warrant was made up of a federal agent, two Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officers and several officers from Gastonia Police.

    "We're very thankful they aren't life-threatening wounds," said John Strong, Special Agent with the FBI. "That's not to say they aren't serious, but we're thankful he's still going to be with us."

    Strong said one person was detained and is being questioned by police in connection with the incident. Detectives are still working to determine who all fired shots and if any officers returned fire. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation is leading a second investigation into the shooting.

    Our full-time SSTF TFO has worked with some of the Charlotte TFO’s in the past. He hasn’t heard any other details yet, but said they’re a good group of guys.

    Sheriff: RPD officer died from accidental self-inflicted gunshot while driving


    Monroe County Sheriff Todd Baxter confirmed Monday that Officer Manuel "Manny" Ortiz, 52, was on his way to work when he accidentally shot himself in the left thigh with his personal weapon — a Smith and Wesson 9mm. The round passed through his femoral artery.

    Baxter said Ortiz called his fiancé at 6:56 p.m. to tell her that he had accidentally shot himself, and he was heading toward the hospital. Ortiz then drove off Empire Boulevard in Penfield and crashed into a ravine.

    "Officer Ortiz's fiancé called 911," Baxter said. "Citizens witnessed Officer Ortiz vehicle drifting across oncoming lanes of traffic going off the road and coming to rest about 100 yards in a ravine. They also called 911."

    Four deputies responded to the scene, applied tourniquets, and carried him to the road.

    "Deputies removed Officer Ortiz from the vehicle, applied two tourniquets to his legs, carried Officer Ortiz out of the ravine to the roadway where deputies were met by EMS," Baxter said.

    Ortiz, a 22-year veteran of the Rochester Police Department, was pronounced dead at 7:13 p.m.

    Baxter says one casing was found in the passenger side of Ortiz's SUV. The bullet was found lodged in the driver's door. The weapon did have a safety on it, according to investigators.

    There's nothing civil about this war.

    That's scary.
    I have the same gun with safety.

    Does that mean it fired with safety or he put it back to safety afterwards?
