A Margate Police officer accidentally discharged his gun in the parking lot of the police station Tuesday morning.
The officer, whose name was not released, received a minor injury and “is doing OK,” Lt. Alain Banatte said in an email. No one else was injured.
The police department, according to their policy, will conduct an Internal Affairs investigation to find out whether the gun malfunctioned or if the officer made an error, Banatte said.
Additional details were not released Tuesday evening.
