Halifax Regional Police are calling it an 'isolated case of human error'

Halifax Regional Police say no one was injured and there was no damage when a firearm went off at police headquarters on Gottingen Street Thursday morning.

Just after 6 a.m., police say an officer was doing a routine check on their gun in a designated loading area when one round accidentally fired.

The officer contacted their supervisor and police launched an internal review "including officer training, assessing the state of the weapon and the suitability of the environment where the incident occurred."

They've concluded there were no issues with the weapon and are calling it an "isolated case of human error."
