A French sniper and a negligent discharge

A police sniper took out a waiter and an event employee at French President Francois Hollande’s inauguration of a high speed rail according to AFP;

“It was an accidental shot by a police officer which injured two waiters, or at least one waiter and an (event) employee. The injuries aren’t life threatening,” local government chief Pierre N’Gahane said.

“The bullet grazed one person’s calf and then lodged in another person’s leg,” he said, adding that the victims were in a VIP area next to where Hollande was speaking.

The officer, who was helping to provide security for the president, was standing on an elevated point, N’Gahane said.

He made a “mistake in handling while changing positions”, an informed source told AFP.

And that’s why you always keep your booger hook off of the bang switch, kids.

  1. Ok. I’ll make the obvious joke….anyone want to buy a slightly used French rifle? Been dropped only once.

    1. Or…The French take their dining too seriously. Bad service is no reason to shoot a waiter.

    2. THAT one would be worth a fortune, the only French rifle that has actually been fired…

  2. “Negligent Discharge” ???

    …. hmmmmmmm …. I had one of those that time in ’69 when my high school girlfriend’s mother unlocked her bedroom door.

    But that’s all I’m saying … I know my rights.

      1. No shit! I’m sure at least a couple of guys I work with were born on a highway because that’s where accidents happen!

  3. If only there were basic guidelines to the safe and effective handling of firearms.

    Oh, wait!

    RULE I: ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

    RULE II: NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY

    RULE III: KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

    RULE IV: BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET

    And what is beyond. Thank you Col. Cooper!

  4. ” This is my boyfriend,, he’s a French Sniper”

    Boyfriend: ” Bang Jour”

  5. That’s why you don’t eat donuts before shooting. The sugar makes your trigger finger stick to the trigger.
