 www.cleveland.com/search/index.ssf?/base/opinion/1093253580308720.xml?octip Oh, shoot: Cleveland police are investigating a recent shooting involving one of their own. The victim? A laser printer inside Police Headquarters. Paper jam? Annoying low-toner message? No, said, Lt. Wayne Drummond. Internal Affairs Sgt. Carla Ellis' gun fired accidentally. "Definitely not on purpose," he said. It's still being investigated. The printer remains in critical condition. "It's in the process of being repaired - or junked," Drummond said. "It's definitely broken, but we don't know the extent of the damage." |

There are very few accidents with firearms.
My vote is for a negligent discharge. |

The space bar is a wonderful thing.
And yes, those printers can be quite mean. |

I'm sure the cop was provoked and it was a justified shooting. |

I'm not going to lie, I've done Harddrive balistic testing at the range before. The only thing that's kept me from bringing a printer or two down there is that there'd be too many pieces to pick up.

She thought she heard 'Woof! Woof!' come from inside the depths of the printer.

Given that she is either in charge of or second in command of the internal affairs unit, I wonder who's gonna investigate? Damned sneaky and awful mean those printers are. I don't blame the girl one bit for shooting first.

Come on, anyone that works with printers knows how many times you would have loved to have shot the thing - and it probably had it coming for a long time - just most of us are smart enough to not wear pistols while working on them.
