The Sergent, who was visiting the

Something's funny here - was he holding the weapon in has *hands*?

Even the rivets in a holster or belt would have been too much

stupid (and has already been fired) or this is one of those
stories that won't stand up under a snopes microscope.

It'd be easy to research this one. If someone was injured, the FDA
will have records online.
