Police Officer Assigned to High School Suspended After His Gun Goes Off in Hallway
A police officer assigned to a high school in Highland, New York has been suspended after his gun went off in the hallway during the school day.
The officer – Officer Sean McCutcheon – will be suspended while an investigation into the incident continues.
McCutcheon was assigned to the school in the wake of the Newtown massacre last year.
McCutcheon was assigned to the high school in the Hudson Valley town of Highland in January.
