Sidearms & Scatterguns Two more P320s discharge in Holster.

There is no way the shell casing could be ejected if the retention strap of the holster is still over the slide. Someone says "there is the casing". The gun would have to have been out of the holster for the casing to be ejected. You can see the attending emt/officer move the retention strap forward to remove the gun from the holster. Something is wrong with this story or we did not see the whole story.

I’m torn on this. I believe these pistols are going off but I also don’t see how a guy who is walking, with a level 3 holster on a duty belt, gets shot in the leg. That bullet should have gone straight to ground (like the school hallway video) not through his leg.

I could be 100% wrong here, maybe his body type has the pistol angled in, but that looked like a high leg shot, through and through. How does that angle happen with a retained pistol on a duty belt while just walking?

There is a comment by a YouTube user named @charlesgaston4439 that addresses this observation.

“It looks like that bit of bodycam footage could have been spliced out of sequence tbh. They're looking in the same area where the other officer took it to clear it. Edit: Yep if you look at the timestamps on the top of the screen, that comment is made after the pistol was cleared.

The “Here’s the casing” bit is at ~1:30.

I’m not vouching for it, but the timestamps do appear to be as YT user @charlesgaston4439 says.

Since searching YT for comments effing sucks balls, go to a comment searcher like the ones below and paste in the URL and search for a bit of text that is in the above quote.

You can also see the pistol and magazine laying on the ground when he says "here's the casing". So he had already taken it out. The way the news edited the footage is kinda backwards.

It depends on the type of duty holster that is used. I used Safariland and some are angled towards your leg when worn on a belt and others are straight down. Not the best pic but it gives you an idea
