A Jacksonville police officer is under investigation after authorities said he accidentally shot in 15-year-old son in the head.
Authorities in North Carolina said a 15-year-old male was seriously hurt after his father, a police officer, shot him in the head.
The father and the son were not immediately identified, though investigators said the father is a part of the nearby Jacksonville Police Department. Authorities said the teen suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to Naval Trauma Center on Camp Lejeune and later transferred to Vidant Medical Center in Pitt County, where he remained hospitalized.
Experts agree the way to reduce these shootings is to rethink firearms training, starting with the amount required. While all academies require cadets to undergo a certain number of hours of firearms instruction, the AP found how many varies widely.
