Wow! Unbelievable!

Two deputies were shot in a training event because they used 12 gauge breaching rounds stored in a ziploc bag in someone’s desk instead of getting blanks from the armory.

Luckily they both survived the accident.

I'm, glad both injured made it.  Clearly those on scene knew how to stop the bleed too because one apparently got shrapnel through an artery.

"“I can assure you that I wouldn't think anybody would keep any type of round in a baggie in a desk drawer at the Greenville County Sheriff's Office ever again,” Lewis said."

Yeah, shooting ammo from a baggie in a desk drawer?

On the list of stupid choices, this one is very very close to the top.

I have discounted carrying a tactical tourniquet all these years. Looks like someone stopped a femoral bleed with one. I'm going to order a couple right away.
