This is what happens when you issue firearsm to primates.

(From the Philadelphia Inquirer, Feb. 7, 2002, page 1)

A five year veteran of the Philadephia Police department, Vanessa Carter-Moragne, was at the Imani Education Charter School in Germantown, Pa. during a show and tell session. After showing the kids her badge (harmless enough) they wanted to see her Glock 9mm semi-auto. The officer reportedly removed the magazine and then passed her duty weapon among the children.

(Safety Tip: When handing your duty weapon to a group of elementary school kids, always make sure there is still not a round in the chamber.) According to a police spokesman, “When she attempted to place the magazine back into the Glock, her gun accidentally discharged.” (Read: The officer didn’t keep her finger outside of the trigger housing.)

Aatiqah Johnson, a witness to the incident said, “She accidentally pulled the trigger.”

A ten year old fourth grader, James Reeves, was grazed in the face. He received five stiches and was released from the hospital in good condition.

Officer Carter-Moragne has been removed from street duty.
