I've heard bits and pieces on the news, but apparently a Cobb County Police Trainee was shot and killed today by her instructor.  All reports are that the gun "accidentally" went off while they were on their way out to the firing range.

AUSTELL --- -- Authorities say a recruit attending the North Central Georgia Law Enforcement Academy in Cobb County was accidentally shot and killed by her instructor today during a training exercise.

The recruit has not been identified pending notification of relatives.

Cobb County Police spokesman Dana Pierce says the officers from his agency, the Austell Police and the county sheriff's office are investigating.

The instructor was placed on administrative leave.
