So on Monday, the story was some illegal deer hunter shot this deputy from a deer blind. The sheriff’s dept spent at least one day, maybe two, searching for traces of the perp and set a 10K reward. Now this! Link

Watched this video on thew AM news, I had to admit pretty gusty to a poacher to shoot a cop in Texas. How long does he get until the jokes start....a boot made from a BP vest... a hopscotch court draw in front of his locker?  | |||

I hate those malfunctioning guns that just start shooting all by themselves. | |||

Deleted the post about him possibly lying, I guess it was just a crappy backup gun and poor gumshoe dick work. Interesting - what kind of malfunctioning backup gun could fire twice like that? And you'd think that they would have pulled his guns right away since a shooting was involve, but I guess 'the fog of war' made it seem more probably he was ambushed by a poacher. | |||

And where in the post above does it indicate that the deputy deliberately lied? Is there any possibility—however slight—that if the gun discharged without his touching it that he truly believed someone else shot him? Hmm ….

I just watched that video a dozen times, and nowhere did I see anything that would indicate the deputy's hand was not on the gun. He had a flashlight in his left hand but I never saw the right hand. Also, how do you get two rounds from a pistol that is "secured and holstered"? One, maybe. Two? I think he had the gun in his right hand while he was walking and had a ND. | |||

Maybe it was a Remington. Those are known to fire when they feel like it. Unhappy ammo seeker | |||

Discharged twice while in its holster all by itself, eh? I'd be really interested in the type of gun and type of holster he had there. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan "Once there was only dark.

In the body camera footage you can hear him say after the gun fired he thought he stepped on some thing. Wonder if a branch or something hit the trigger. Had to be in an ankle holster. I will be interested to hear what the out come of the investigation will be. ----------------------------- Always carry. Never tell. | |||

Wait, what? |
It would be very easy to determine if the thing fired from inside the holster; just as easy to determine if it didn’t. There would be ample residue from the rounds going off inside the holster.

This happened about 2 miles from us here. I’m anxious to hear the outcome as well. Sheriff Fowler is a pretty good guy and all the Parker County SD individuals I’ve come in contact with have been very professional. From all indications I’m thinking something got into the holster/trigger guard as they walked through the brush and activated the trigger. But again just a guess, more to come obviously. I hope the deputy can live it down and at the same time own it. Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Complacency sucks… | |||

So it was “secured and holstered on his person” and discharged twice? Did I read that right? Yeah, in for finding out what it was and what it was holstered in. I’m not a math whizz, but something doesn’t add up here. ______________________________________________ Carthago delenda est | |||

If the deputy arrested himself, would he be able to collect the $10,000? _____________ | |||

It's beginning to sound like the story about the bow that went off while it was being cleaned, hitting the cleaner twice in the back... | |||
