Cop suing for £250,000 in damages after being shot at in a training session


Recommended Posts

A POLICE sergeant is suing his bosses for £250,000 after he was forced to dodge live bullets during weapons training.

Terrified Robert Haughey, 47, realised the shooter was not using blanks when a bullet shattered a window inches from him at Dover.

The bullets missed Sergeant Robert by inches during the weapons training drill at an Army barracks.

Robert is now suing his bosses because he is suffering such severe post-traumatic stress disorder he can no longer work.

In a High Court writ filed against City of London Police, Robert’s lawyer said he felt “panic and terror” when he realised live bullets were being fired in his direction at Dover’s Connaught barracks.

They added: “He feared for his life and suffered psychiatric injuries as a result.”

The writ claims his injuries were caused by “negligence” and says the PTSD causes “anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, flashbacks, intrusive memories and recurrent nightmares”.

It claims he is unable to return to police work and “handicapped on the open labour market”.

The force admits liability but no settlement has been agreed. Robert, speaking at home in Strood, Kent, said: “This isn’t something I feel comfortable talking about.”

City of London Police on Monday said a health and safety investigation ruled no further action should be taken against the force but some officers were given further training.

A force spokesman said: “A City of London Police officer discharged live rounds from a firearm that was supposed to be using imitation rounds.

No one was struck by those discharged live rounds.”

A blank round is made up of a shell casing, gunpowder and some wadding to keep the charge in place. Unlike a live round, it has no bullet.
