Officer Dan D. De Kraai

Officer Dan De Kraai was accidentally shot and killed while participating in weapons training.

During a break, Officer De Kraai and another officer replaced the simunitions training weapons with their service weapons before going to a nearby convenience store. When they returned to the training area, Officer De Kraai asked the other officer to shoot him with a simunition round so he could experience how it felt. Forgetting that he had transitioned back to his service weapon, the other officer fired a single live round, fatally striking Officer De Kraai in the back.

Officer De Kraai was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his wound.
