Off-Duty Cop Faces Charges After Neighbor's Home Damaged

0:00An off-duty Windsor Police Officer faces charges after a gunshot damaged a neighbor's home. 49-year-old Constable Louis George has been accused of careless use of a firearm following an incident in the La Salle area. Shortly after 9 a.m. on Monday, emergency crews responded to reports of property damage at a semi-detached house. Investigators found that a single round from Georgia's service issued gun went off inside his residence. The bullet traveled through a shared wall and into a second wall, the neighboring home, where two people were inside at the time. Luckily, no one was hurt. George, who joined the Windsor Police Service in 2009, is now on administrative duties while the criminal case proceeds. A separate internal misconduct probe will follow once that's resolved. Police leaders stressed the gravity of the situation and their focus on accountability as the matter heads to court.
