Sheriff indicted after a shooting that he called an accident

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. — An Atlanta-area sheriff who has long been a magnet for controversy was indicted Thursday on a reckless conduct charge after he shot and critically wounded a woman in what he described as an accident.

A Gwinnett County grand jury on Thursday indicted Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill on a misdemeanor reckless conduct charge, according to local media reports. Hill has acknowledged shooting Gwenevere McCord in an empty model home in Lawrenceville on May 3. Hill told a 911 operator the shooting was an accident that happened while they were practicing police tactics.

A lawyer for Hill did not immediately respond to an email and phone message seeking comment Thursday.

McCord has recovered from her injuries, local media report.

I'd like to see where what they were doing together in an empty model home is described in the police manual.
