Woman accidentally shot during weapons class – by the instructor:
33-year-old Crystal Smith, of Spartanburg County, South Carolina, wife of a Spartanburg County sheriff’s deputy, was taking a concealed weapons permit class when she was unintentionally shot by the instructor.
Deputy Skip Smith, no relation to Crystal, was showing another student how to grip a gun when he discharged the weapon. Crystal was standing beside the student, the bullet went through her arm and into her side. She was taken to the local hospital and is listed in stable condition after undergoing surgery.
Deputy Smith is a certified Concealed Weapons Permit Course instructor. He neglected to check to see if there was a round in the chamber before handling the pistol.
Karma………..will get you if you don’t watch out.
In this (long) weekend we have had a Florida pastor’s daughter accidentally shot by her fiance as he was examining a gun he wanted to buy. The senior Wisconsin official in charge of gun training shooting himself in the hand as he was cleaning his weapon and now this. Two out of three were certified as knowing how to handle a weapon. Bad weekend to be around pistols.
