Deputy Trudy Wiegel: Everybody loves a cripple.
Sources identified the
Bridgeport police officer shot early this morning as Juan Santiago, and said
the officer shot himself in the leg with a target pistol he didn’t realize was
loaded.
Another officer had borrowed
the .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol, and was returning it when the shooting
happened, the gun’s owner said.
“It was on the table and he
picked it up and cocked it,” said the gun owner, who asked not to be
identified.
“It wasn’t loaded but there was
a magazine in it and when he cocked it a bullet moved into the chamber.”
“I’m sure he’s a bit embarrassed by what
happened,” the employee said.
