One LMPD officer was placed on administrative leave.
Police have said Officer Brendan Kaiser accidently fired a shot that hit two teenagers after officers were told several juveniles had illegally entered a garage on a vacant property in what was believed to be a stolen car.
“As you fell, you tried to catch yourself and accidently discharged your firearm striking two of the juveniles,” Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said in a memo to Kaiser on Jan. 25. “Your actions were unsafe.”
