As a former ATF supervisor and the current Medina police chief in Ohio, Patrick Berarducci knows a thing or two about gun safety.
But that didn’t stop the 62-year-old with more than 40 years of experience in law enforcement from accidentally shooting himself in the leg at home, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Beraducci said he was getting ready for work when the gun went off.
“I put on a new belt and strung the holster through it,” Berarducci told the Plain Dealer. “I pushed my pistol into it (a Smith & Wesson .40 caliber Shield handgun), the holster buckled a little on the inside, just enough to catch the trigger.”
He was not seriously injured.
