Officer Indicted In Trainee Shooting

A Baltimore City Police officer has been indicted on two counts involving the accidental shooting of a police trainee back in February.

The Baltimore County State's Attorney's Office says that 46-year-old William Kern has been indicted on 2nd degree assault and reckless endangerment.

He is accused of shooting University of Maryland officer cadet Raymond Gray in the head during an exercise at the old Rosewood Center complex in Owings Mills.

Gray was treated at Shock Trauma and then released and was expected to go through rehabilitation for his injuries.

And they testified at the gun hearings how they were the best in the country and the citizens didn't need guns

The fire department killed a cadet in a live training session several years ago and now this so called police training office nearly kills a police cadet. There are some serious problems in Baltimore City. Reminds me of the leadership in the Salisbury Fire Department.

Its an isolated incident. Not a reflection on the department or cops in general.
I find it interesting that an officer is being charged, training administrators have been suspended, training suspended, etc...and so many people said it would be covered up and nothing would come of this. Accidents happen everywhere when there is intense dangerous training that is being conducted...and the training has to be intense, stressful, and with some danger involved in order for it to be effective.
