FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — Fort Wayne police say two of its officers have suffered non-life-threatening injuries in an accidental shooting during a training exercise.
Police say one officer was shot in the hand and the other officer in the lower extremities by a single bullet during the training Tuesday afternoon at the Public Safety Academy in Fort Wayne. Both were taken to a hospital.
According to WPTA-TV, a gun held by a veteran officer was fired inadvertently in an indoor shooting range, injuring the officer. The bullet then ricocheted and wounded the second officer.
Police say both officers are veterans, but their names haven't been released.
It wasn't immediately clear what type of training the officers were receiving.
