SPOKANE, Wash. – A class action lawsuit has been filed against gunmaker Sig Sauer over incidents of unintended discharges, including one locally documented in Spokane.

The Spokane incident took place at the police department's shooting range last October during a police academy session. The class was engaged in a firearms shooting drill at Northeast Regional Academy when a recruit drew their Sig Sauer P-320 and the gun immediately self-discharged.

The bullet hit the concrete ground, but fragments struck an instructor and another recruit standing behind the recruit with the gun. According to the instructor's report, the gun fired immediately, and the recruit's trigger finger was not on the trigger or in the trigger guard.
