HENRICO COUNTY, VA (WTVR) - A Henrico County Sheriff's Deputy was taken to the hospital Thursday morning after accidentally shooting herself in the hip while changing in the jail locker room, according to Henrico County Sheriff Mike Wade.
No one was next to the deputy when she was shot, however there were people in a nearby meeting room Sheriff Wade told WTVR.com.
He said the jail does have safety protocols designed to prevent these kinds of shootings.
Henrico County police are investigating the incident.
The deputy, a 10-year veteran of the sheriff's office, was conscious and breathing when she was taken to the hospital, Wade said.
He said the shooting happened around 7:20 Thursday morning while the deputy was preparing for her sergeant's interview.
Sounds more like a negligent discharge to me.
