And now....cop clumsily unholsters gun, shoots self and daughter with same bullet.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) Police say an Alaska corrections officer accidentally shot his 12-year-old daughter in the leg when they went for physical therapy appointments.
Initial police reports said the shooting occurred when the father removed his jacket and didn't want other patients to see his holstered .40-caliber pistol.
But Welborn said Thursday the father also had a therapy appointment, and the shooting occurred when he removed the pistol from his hip holster as he prepared to get on a therapy table.
The bullet went through his forearm before striking his daughter.

It says he's a corrections officer - surely that means he's only "on duty" when he's at the prison.
