Yeah, old news. As they say, the only way to stop a bad toddler with a gun is a good toddler with a gun

A teacher conducting a public safety class in a Cal. school accidentally discharged a gun in class

 

[Mischief]

— A teacher injured three students Tuesday when he accidentally fired a gun inside a Seaside High School classroom, according to reports.

The teacher was identified as Dennis Alexander, a reserve police officer for the Sand City Police Department and a Seaside councilman. Alexander was teaching a course about gun safety as part of his administration of justice class when he fired a single shot from a semi-automatic handgun into the ceiling, the Monterey County Herald and KSBW reported.

One 17-year-old student was hit in the neck by debris or a fragment after the bullet ricocheted off the ceiling, said Seaside police Chief Abdul D. Pridgen. The student was not seriously injured and classes resume.

The shooting occurs amid intense debate over whether to arm teachers in the wake of the Parkland, Fla. shooting that left 17 dead and another 17 injured. On Wednesday, students across the country are set to walk out of their classrooms to raise awareness about gun violence and safety.

Alexander has taught the course in the past, but Pridgen said he did not know if he had ever brought a loaded firearm to the school before Tuesday, the Herald reported. An investigation is underway.

“We’re looking into any violation of city ordinance or the penal code and we’ll determine whether or not there are any applicable charges,” Pridgen told the Herald.

Alexander had just told the class he wanted to make sure the firearm was not loaded when it went off, Fermin Gonzales, the father of the 17-year-old student who was injured, told KSBW.

“It’s the craziest thing. It could have been very bad,” he said.

Sand City police Chief Brian Ferrante told KSBW, “I have concerns about why he (Alexander) was displaying a loaded firearm in a classroom. We will be looking into that.”

Student Hurt After Teacher Accidentally Fires Gun in Class

YAY! Another hit for armed teachers!
This guy is actually a reserve police officer doing a gun safety demonstration.
I am sure armed Maths teachers will be more cautious

BTW ..

The teacher was placed on administrative leave by the school as well as the Sand City Police Department.

I'd venture to say that if he had just shot somebody by accident in his capacity as police officer instead, he would likely still be on the streets....

That reminds me of this story a year ago, right here in this school district: Deputy who fired gun in school, hitting teacher takes plea deal

Well, what do you think those armed teachers are going to do when they have to visit the facilities (besides shoot themselves in the butt).

But, there might be a solution ... as a motorbike rider, I really like it that when I visit a restroom at a gas station in Germany, there is typically a special place to put helmets. Maybe we could just put gun racks in teachers' toilets ...
