yes, it was an "accident"

a firearm instructor should know that you ALWAYS handle a gun as if it has live ammo.

LOL yeah right!! Any basic gun owner knows always treat a gun as loaded. They 're trying to make people believe the instructor, with police experience, did it when that is something a novice that would need "instruction" would do. Padilla obviously didn't know enough to clear a jam, or keep the gun pointed down range in case of a delay fire. To add the the fishiness of this story their people said "hunting accident". Lie once .. lie twice. I don't buy it. Looks to me like the instructor took a bullet for the team. Literally

Daily Horoscope for December 31

Capricorn

A certain person is strong-willed with the Full Moon in your emotional house of others. It's a lunar eclipse too, so this could lead to some ructions in which everyone becomes firmly entrenched in their own opinions and refuses to acknowledge anyone else's point of view. Get the arguments out of the way early on, so you can then concentrate on having a really enjoyable New Year's Eve.
