Ricocheting bullet kills Ocala police officer in training exercise


Another example of how a stray shot can kill you just as dead as an aimed one.

OCALA -- Flags remain at half-staff in honor of the Ocala police officer killed in an accidental shooting Monday.
Officer Jared Forsyth was hit around 3 p.m. after a semi-annual training session at Lowell Correctional Institution, 11120 NW Gainesville Road.
Police said it happened as another officer was unloading his .40-caliber Glock. The bullet ricocheted off a bench and entered the 33-year-old’s arm and chest, missing Forsyth's bulletproof vest.
He was rushed to Ocala Regional Medical Center in critical condition, but died during surgery.
