A Warren police detective is being treated at a hospital after he accidentally shot himself Monday morning.
The incident happened in the basement of the police department around 9 a.m. The officer was conducting a routine firearms training session at the time. No one else were injured.
“The detective was putting his gun in his holster when it actually discharged, hitting him in the thigh and going through some muscle tissue,” said Mayor Jim Fouts. “The good news is he’s stable, he’s alert, he’s awake and he’s talking.”
Officials have not released the officer's name at this time.
