No discipline for trooper over accidental discharge

There will be no punishment for a Maine State Police lieutenant whose gun accidentally discharged during a training class.

Lt. Shaun Currie was adjusting his holster when the gun went off Wednesday morning during a computer training session in Augusta. An officer was hit in the back of the leg after the bullet ricocheted, but it didn’t penetrate the officer’s skin.

Steve McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety, said the investigation concluded discipline was unnecessary. The outcome was first reported by the Bangor Daily News.
