AURORA, Colo. - Campus police are investigating an accidental shooting in which two people suffered minor injuries at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine in Aurora.

The shooting happened Friday in a staff member's office at the dental school on the Anschutz Medical Campus, Campus Police Chief Doug Abraham said in a Monday statement.

Two people in the office received minor injuries and were not hospitalized, the chief said.

The staff member who possessed the gun had a concealed carry permit for it. That staff member is on administrative leave, Abraham said.

While extremely rare, accidents involving guns carried by CCW permits do occur. Expect the anti-freedom forces to make much of this minor incident.

The cops couldn’t offer details on how the gun was accidentally fired? I’d say it started off with someone saying, “here, hold muh laughing gas.”

Anschutz Medical Campus???!!!!!

Sure someone wasn’t confused, thought it was a match?

Handling ones weapon with out proper care can and does sometimes results in a unintentional discharge.

Sounds like they might have been hit by fragments.

Just speculating I wonder if someone was asking him/her about ccw. He decided to show and tell then a big oh Sh’t moment.
