David Counceller, a police chief out of the Connersville Police Department in Indiana, didnt have the greatest of extended weekends over the Martin Luther King holiday. In an epic stroke of irony, one of the often touted good guys with a gun managed to accidentally shoot someone: himself. While putting his own weapon back into its holster after comparing it to a newer model, the police chief accidentally caught the 40-caliber Glock on his clothes and shot himself in the leg. They often say theres a first time for everything, but this definitely wasnt it for Chief Counceller.
Counceller making a career out of shooting himself.
Even though Counceller is a veteran of the force, having served over 30 years in his current department alone, some may think its understandable to make such a mistake. After all, no one was harmed; so no harm, no foul. Right? Well that would be incredibly easier to believe if the chief hadnt been in this same situation before. Around 15 years ago, Counceller managed to shoot himself in the hand, and that occurrence seems a bit worse than his latest shooting.
Keep in mind, his first accident occurred 15 years ago, and his police career has been just over 30 years long. This means that this well-trained good guy with a gun has managed to shoot himself in 15 year intervals since he got started. Whats even worse than that? His first accident occurred when he failed to check the chamber for a bullet when unloading the gun.
