An update from this incident
Police accidental discharge
News just breaking
BBC News - Nottinghamshire girl hurt in police gun accident
For all those about to lock up the officer and throw away the key I believe from my sourse that:-
1. This was not an ND
2. The weapon was loaded with a blank
3. It was deliberately fired, muzzle pointing to the floor in a firearms / dog training demonstration exercise
4. All spectators were wearing adequate PPE, (eye & ear protection)
5. The injury - well I don't think an ambulance was needed
