Law Offices of Frank L. Branson: Officer Lina Mino was shot in the eye, sustained brain damage during training exercise in Tarrant County \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

DALLAS \u2013 A Sansom Park, Texas, police officer who was shot in the eye and suffered brain damage during an active shooter drill in November 2022 has filed a lawsuit against the company that conducted the exercise and its owner.<\/p>\n

In her lawsuit, Officer Lina Mino says Texas Police Trainers, LLC, of Killeen was negligent in that it allowed someone to bring a firearm with live rounds into the training. The filing also names the company\u2019s owner and CEO, Janice M. Washington, as a defendant.<\/p>\n

The shooting happened at David K. Sellars Elementary School in Forest Hill, where officers from area police departments had gathered to learn and ready themselves for active-shooter scenarios. Officer Mino was taking part in the training when another law enforcement officer fired his weapon, striking her. As a result, Officer Mino lost her left eye and suffered a brain injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there is any place where this shooting absolutely should not have happened, it\u2019s in the middle of a training drill run by a company that is supposed to be qualified to teach police officers,\u201d says attorney Frank Branson<\/a> of Dallas\u2019 The Law Offices of Frank L. Branson<\/a>, who represents Officer Mino. \u201cIf anyone should know how to be safe around firearms, it\u2019s them. To think that they allowed a set of circumstances that led to Officer Mino being shot is just astounding.\u201d<\/p>\n

Texas Police Trainers touts itself as a \u201cone-stop shop\u201d that helps \u201censure (members of) our law enforcement community are highly trained.\u201d According to the company\u2019s website, it continues to offer a variety of law enforcement training courses, including basic and advanced instructor courses, crisis intervention training and crime scene investigation.<\/p>\n

The case is Lina Mino vs. Texas Police Trainers, LLC and Janice Washington, <\/em>Cause No.017-341841-23 in Tarrant County, Texas.<\/p>\n
