According to an update from the School District of Janesville, yesterday at Edison Middle School, a gun was accidentally discharged. The school liaison officer was removing their backpack in their personal office when part of the backpack got caught on the firearm, which was properly secured in the holster. The handgun discharged into the floor of the office, and nobody was injured.
The main office staff immediately reported this incident to the district office, and the officer reported the matter to their superiors at the Janesville Police Department.
Janesville Police Department Supervisors reported to Edison to investigate the situation. They determined that there is no identifiable reason for the unintended discharge, which occurred while the handgun was properly secured in the department-issued holster. The police department is sending the firearm and holster to the firearm manufacturer for further examination. The police department will also be following up with the ammunition manufacturer, and the holster manufacturer to identify any defect that may have contributed to the unintended discharge. More information on this story may be given if it becomes available.
