“A child who was thought to be no older than 8-years-old shot a SWAT officer with his service weapon at a literacy fair in California last week while he was showing off tactical equipment to kids. Lodi Police Chief Mark Helms told KMAX that the incident took place at the ‘2013 Literacy Fair: Little Buckaroos Reading Roundup’ on Aug. 24. Helms said that SWAT Officer Robert Rench was in a SWAT vehicle demonstrating equipment to children when a boy, between 6 and 8 years old, walked up behind him and fired his holstered Glock .40 caliber service weapon into his leg. Police were also searching for the identity of the boy, who ran from the scene after the gun discharged.”
