Ben Shotts News Today

After a civilian role player was shot accidentally during a training on Sunday, the Taylor Auxiliary Police Civil Defense has been temporarily suspended, the mayor announced Tuesday.

"When he shot me the first thing I said to him was, ‘What the hell? Why did you not check your firearm?’ Because your number one responsibility as a responsible firearm carrier, is to know the condition of your weapon," he said.

Ben Shotts has volunteered to play the role of a bad guy for Taylor Auxiliary Police before. But Sunday afternoon, the training exercise at Heritage Park went horribly wrong when one of the volunteer auxiliary officers accidentally shot Ben in the abdomen.
