A Pasadena police officer was accidentally shot by a fellow officer in what the police chief described as “unsafe, out-of-policy horseplay” involving loaded firearms.
The incident happened last year in September inside the department's parking garage, but the department released the footage on Wednesday (June 10).
In the video, one officer points his gun at a colleague, who then accidentally fires his own weapon, shooting the other officer in the shoulder.
"The Pasadena Police Department remains committed to serving our community with integrity, accountability, and respect. Accordingly, horseplay and or failure to adhere to safety rules and standards of professional conduct will not be tolerated," Pasadena Police Chief Gene Harris said.
The injured officer has since recovered, and necessary disciplinary action has been taken, according to the police chief.
