Officer's gun accidentally fired during Columbia raid, NYPD says

NYPD officials held a briefing to discuss the accidental discharge of a weapon that happened during Tuesday's raid to end the occupation of Hamilton Hall at Columbia University.

Interesting how there is no comment on how the officer was wielding a firearm with the safety off.

[@autumnfragrance6326]

Hello??? Modern Police service pistols do not have safety switches.

[@gunslinger4203]

Glocks don’t have a safety!

[@Jemsy_]

Interesting how you're trying to find something to criticize in this huge nothing burger.

[@JBangaBeatsTV]

NYPD carry Glock 19s with one chambered, so if it was a Glock, they dont have an external manual safety switch

[@TheStrategicEyesShow]

Saw this comment. Was ready to educate the poster on how ignorant his statement was but noticed that the entire comment section took care of it for me lmao

[@driversseat1707]

Surprised Eric Adams doesn’t issue a statement. He never misses an appearance

[@jbo8540]

Amazing how this can be determined overnight when everything else takes years for the truth to come out... oh right

[@jeffreyowens3966]

and he was A sergeant this is going to make the department ACADEMY and instructor look unprofessional with their gun range training

There are no accidents, there must be consequences.

When are they releasing body cam footage?

[@gunslinger4203]

Police did a great job ! Watched the whole entry ! Years back during low light pistol classes it was mentioned some departments had AD with pistols using sure fire weapons lights ! I am old still carry a 1911 without a rail ! NYPD should be proud of the job you all did ! My uncle was retired NYPD ! God Bless 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

So he didn't shoot it in the air like a cartoon cowboy at a lynching?

I stand with the BLUE!

That's why there was no media allowed inside

[@tsubitan]

Accidentally fired a gun? The officer needs to go back to the training!

[@jeffreyowens3966]

CRAZY⁉️

[@mdfazleyallahyfayel9998]

The should accidentally send the officer to desk duty inside the precinct. He shouldn’t be walking around in the streets like a little toddler who shots accidentally.

[@GooniesVideos]

My goodness, these reporters needs to understand police tactics and the gear they use and why.

[@Magazinelady]

Full disclosure made by the officer. They were working in a tense sitution. Fortunately, no one was injured by the bullet. Thank you to all law enforcement for working hard to restore peace to the college campuses. I stand with the blue!

[@shysonofficial]

Live shots in a college campus is insane to defend. What would you say of it was a student who accidentally shot while defending himself?

[@longkesh1971]

This is very serious. That officer could have killed a fellow officer if he can't handle a firearm correctly. You supporting that is not 'standing with the blue'.

[@jorgerivera425]

This happens except on movies, but in reality, hand guns are easy to discharge. Now, the more important questions: What is going to happen to the students arrested on campus ?

[@shysonofficial]

So he shot through the door is what your saying?

[@jeffreyowens3966]

Accidentally discharged all officers is to be on safety at all time, only until feeling threaded ⁉️

[@cpg92]

When they were entering that hall taken over by little Hamas supporters you don’t think they could have considered that a threatening situation?

[@MrJ-dc3yz]

Did any students accidentally discharge a weapon?

[@groundcontrol436385]

A big nothing burger. It's as if they have no understanding of what a stressful, fluid, danger ridden police situation is like.

[@shysonofficial]

to discharge a a fire arm in a school is putting students in danger of getting hit by a bullet, its stupiid to have to even say thay to you.. if you own a gun you are responsible for what happens. If your a cop you need to be even more trained and responsible. No excuse for shooting a gun in a school

[@MR_apple1]

Why carry gun inside an university

[@no-orwelliandystopia]

Accidental discharge?; Yeah we take your word for it 😂

[@no-orwelliandystopia]

Yo you investigated yourself and found no f****** wrong doing
