A Modesto, California pastor is recovering after being accidentally shot by his firearms-safety instructor during class:
During the course, Rushing was using a training gun, a rubber fake with no firing mechanism, said Heather Graves, Modesto Police Department spokeswoman. But as the class was ending, she said, he removed that prop from his holster and replaced it with his real handgun.About that time, Graves said, a student asked Rushing to demonstrate what to do if attacked by someone armed with a knife. Smith volunteered to portray the attacker in a role-playing exercise.“During the scenario, the instructor drew the firearm and it accidentally discharged,” she said. She did not know whether Rushing forgot he replaced the training gun or whether he knew he was drawing the real gun.
Dan Gray, another firearms instructor told The Modesto Bee that the instructor failed to follow basic protocol:
Whether Rushing thought he was drawing a rubber gun or a real one, he said, “unfortunately doesn’t matter. You never allow a real gun, loaded or otherwise, in a training environment when role playing. But he’s not the first and probably won’t be the last to have something like this happen.”Gray said that in his classes, “we triple check” with signage, verbal instruction and pat-downs to ensure that no one – not instructors, not students – has a gun.
No charges have been filed. Yet.
