Just one more idiot who shoots himself (not a dog or innocent person this time!).

"Off-duty officer accidentally shoots himself in leg

A Columbus (OH) police officer unintentionally shot himself in the leg this morning, then drove himself to the hospital.

The officer, whose name has not been released, was off-duty and in his personal vehicle when the incident occurred about 5:45 a.m. in the area of I-270 and Rt. 33 on the Northwest Side.

The officer notified dispatchers and drove himself to OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital, where he is being treated for an injury not believed to be life-threatening."


I am wondering if this asshat's name will be released, after the fact.

As for the facts, off-duty and in his personal vehicle, we have to take the Columbus police department's word on that.
