Child wounded by officer's gunshot in show-and-tell
"A 10-year-old boy was grazed in the head by a bullet during a show-and-tell presentation by an off-duty police officer at a Germantown charter school today.
The boy, identified as James Reeves, was in good condition this afternoon, after being rushed to Temple University Hospital from the Imani Education Circle School in the 5600 block of Greene Street in Germantown.
Authorities said he received a graze wound to his right cheek about 2:45 p.m.
Philadelphia Police Lt. Sue Slawson said the incident remained under investigation. The officer, Vanessa Carter-Morange, was off-duty and participating in a show-and-tell presentation at the school where her son is enrolled.
Police said the gun apparently discharged when the officer dropped it in the classroom.
Carter-Morange, 39, has been with the police department since 1996 and is currently assigned to the Ninth District. Slawson said the officer will be removed from the street while a routine internal affairs investigation is conducted."
If this is true (big if) then I would be comfortable concluding that the gun was probably not a Glock and that this all would not have happened if it was.
But like I said, if this is true.
