The article does not mention the state, but is this not Wisconsin?

Village of Caledonia
6922 Nicholson Rd, Caledonia, WI 53108

Yep.

I wonder how many times he's said:
My safety is between my ears.
Keep your booger hook off the bang switch until ready to fire.
Etc
Etc
Etc

Etc

A detective with the Caledonia Police Department said the incident likely wasn’t the trainer’s fault because the group had been having problems with the new guns and the ammunition they were using at the time, according to a report by the Caledonia Police Department.

then realized he was talking about one of the trainers, who had accidentally shot himself as he was putting the gun in the holster. The trainer told police that the wound “was only a graze.”

Ummm, yeah - must be the gun or ammo that caused that.

Talk about a great instructor. I would probably not shoot myself in the leg after watching my istructor do it. :shock:
