Fun With Guns: Can I Get a Refund? Edition
Out in California, a gun safety instructor shot one of his students. Phillip Rushing, the instructor, shot his student, who also happens to be a popular local minister.
The Victim
“During the scenario, the instructor drew the firearm and it accidentally discharged,” she said. She did not know whether Rushing forgot he replaced the training gun or whether he knew he was drawing the real gun.
“When it fired and he realized what happened, he immediately dialed 911.”
The article notes that they have closed the school for the day after that.
The minister was shot in the stomach and underwent successful surgery. They say he’s in plenty of pain but he will make a complete recovery.
