Fun!

New York State Police are investigating after a local police officer
admitted shooting and killing his own son, who he believed to be an
intruder.

Village of Perry Officer Michael Leach, 59, was sleeping at around
12:50 a.m. on Saturday morning when he was awakened by someone
entering his Old Forge hotel room. Thinking the person was an
intruder, Leach fired one shot, killing his 37-year-old son Matthew,
according to The Observer-Dispatch.

Michael Leach called 911 and stated that he had shot an intruder.


Matthew Leach was later pronounced dead St. Elizabeth Medical Center.
The father was taken to Faxton St. Luke’s Healthcare for an
unspecified medical issue.

Hotel owner Dan Rivet Jr. told the paper that the father and son were
part of a group of officers who traveled to the area on motorcycles
for a long weekend.

“It was just a group of guys coming to have a good time,” Rivet said.

While the investigation continued on Monday, police said the shooting
was likely a case of mistaken identity. No charges have been filed.

Find out what that unspecified medical issue was. Maybe it will help us
understand why this tragedy happened.

Unspecified medical issue? Ingersollitis, a brain disease?

The son should have at least knocked on the door, or in someway
announced his arrival to his dad.

Yeah but then again, especially an officer shouldn't fire on an
unidentified target... That just seems against any firearms protocol I
have ever heard of. I won't even say what I think of a cop doing it...
John (mr. sanctimonious) will pitch a fit:)

As usual, you are probably barking up the wrong tree.

And why would you say that? If someone knocks on your door do you
instantly start shooting?

Nope, he was a lazy cop, a bad cop, a cop who wasn't trained properly to
handle a handgun.. Won't even suspect what may have been going on at the
party he was at all night, I do bet they didn't drug test him...

He handled the handgun just fine. He was trigger happy.
