My middle boy was down range IIRC at Ft Polk.Function check after the cleaning. Screwing up and using a NOT empty mag. My wife had that happen in her presence in Iraq or Afghanistan. Soldier got an instant Article 15.
Guy lost his grip on a loaded M4. As it dropped to the ground he tried to grab it and pulled the trigger. It went through my boys helmet, and grazed the side if his forehead along the side of his temple and just above the ear.
He said he didn't even know he was hit until the medic ran to him, and he was bleeding pretty good.
He has a scar from it.
The guy that did it was grabbed, and taken away. My son said he never seen him again in his company.
I wonder what happened to him?
