An off-duty Honolulu police
officer alleges he accidentally fired his gun while he was in the bathroom of a
Target store on Saturday.
According to KHON, the officer
took the Glock out of the holster, put it on the toilet paper dispenser, and
accidentally shot it when he went to pick it up.
No one was injured, but the
bullet ricocheted off the stall and into the wall of another stall. It’s
unknown if anyone else was in the bathroom at the time, but the noise startled
shoppers in the store.
The Honolulu Police Department
is investigating the incident. This is the third time in the past month that a
Honolulu police officer has accidentally fired his gun. In August, an officer
died after an accidental shooting during a barbecue. The other incident
occurred during an arrest, but no one was hurt

for cops: The Duplin County sheriff
kills dog.
The Duplin County sheriff says
Deputy Kevin Williams was on duty when he got a call that his child was sick
and needed to be picked up from school.
When Williams arrived home, he
fed the dog, but forgot to take “Kela” out of the cruiser.
The dog was found dead the next
morning, according to authorities.
Kela was a Belgian Shepherd
trained to track down people and narcotics.
The deputy has been reassigned
to courthouse baliff.
The sheriff says the district
attorney’s office did not bring charges against Williams because there was no
criminal intent.
