EAST HARTFORD — The president of East Hartford’s police union says some department-issued pistols do not shoot straight, a dangerous defect that exposes cops and the department to “a needless tragedy.”
“My members have guns with sights cocked to the side and are being told to aim to the right of what they want to hit,” Officer Frank Iacono wrote in a recent blog post. “This is completely unsafe and unacceptable and should’ve never been allowed to happen.”
Deputy Police Chief Christopher Davis and department spokesman Lt. Josh Litwin countered that police have been working with the gunmaker to correct any issues.
