Officer continuing recovery after being shot during active shooter training in Forest Hill

A police officer is alive and out of surgery after she was shot during a training exercise Saturday.

A GoFundMe, confirmed by the officer’s family, reveals Sansom Park officer Lina Mino was shot in the face and will require additional surgeries as a result of the head trauma.

White Settlement police posted the department had officers step in and cover the overnight shift in Sansom Park so that officers could be at the hospital. "No reason why, in a training scenario, there would be live ammo like that in the building or in the room," said Charley Wilkison, who is executive director of Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas or CLEAT, the statewide police union.He was relieved to learn she survived after being shot from a close range. The scheduled training included Forest Hill police, Sansom Park police, plus other individual officers from North Texas departments.
