I got this report last night from my good friend, Rob Haught, who is a police chief in WV, as well as a prominent trainer. This underscores the advice I keep giving to carefully inspect every round of carry ammunition. You bet your life on the ammo you carry.
We had an OIS with two State Troopers serving an arrest warrant on a 60 year old male for battery. On entry to his house he engaged both with a handgun striking one 4 times and the other once. During the gunfight the most wounded Trooper experienced a catastrophic malfunction of his G17 when a .40 cal round would not feed. How it got into his magazine is being investigated. The Trooper just underwent surgery to amputate his leg above the knee. BG died on scene. I know we preach checking our duty ammo but this is a verifiable case of why.
