Officer’s Accidental Discharge of Weapon

1 November 2024, El Paso, Texas, Steven Zimmerman – Imagine you are sitting at work, writing reports, talking with the Mayor of El Paso, or about to take a sip of coffee and BAM! A bullet has just gone through your head.

“What happened, what occurred,” says an officer who was at the Chief Gregory Allen Police Headquarters in El Paso, Texas, “was a high ranking officer was at her desk, dry fired her sidearm, and discharged a round.”

That round, according to other officers, went through walls and could have killed someone.

If a police officer in Texas accidentally discharges their firearm in the office, they most likely face disciplinary action, including potential suspension or termination, depending on the severity of the incident and the department’s policies; they may also face criminal charges depending on the circumstances, such as a “negligent discharge” charge, which could result in fines and potential jail time depending on local laws and the specific situation.

“What she did was negligence on her part,” said a civilian staff member of the El Paso Police Department, who works at headquarters. “How do you not fully clear your weapon? They are trained for this, or should be trained for this.”
