An accidental shooting involving an Osage police officer on Saturday, April 27, is under investigation by authorities.
According to Osage Mayor Steve Cooper, the officer, Brad Evans, was off-duty at the time. He is apparently responsible for shooting another man in the hand.
Police Chief Brian Wright confirmed that Hakkon Rosendahl was the man who suffered the injury and taken to the Mitchell County Regional Health Center in a personal vehicle and later released.
Evans is now on a three-day, unpaid suspension and will be required to receive additional firearm training, Wright said.
No charges are expected to be filed, Wright said.
“It was an unfortunate accident. He was apparently showing his weapon to a friend and it went off,” said Cooper.
Disgraceful nonchalance, that's my opinion? What's yours?
