A suspect staged a brazen attack to break a prison inmate out of a Boise hospital overnight, shooting and seriously wounding two Idaho corrections officers, police said. A third was also shot and wounded when arriving police mistook the officer for the suspect and opened fire.

One officer was in critical but stable condition, another has serious but non-life-threatening injuries and the third was not seriously injured when mistakenly shot by an arriving Boise police officer, the city said in a statement.

These people are considered professionals.

Not seriously injured though - the cops missed the mark, in a hospital setting. Amazing.

Only by themselves. The rest of us know better.

As soon as I saw his photo I knew he'd be a white supremacist.

ETA:

The third injured corrections officer also sustained non-life-threatening injuries when a responding officer — incorrectly believing the shooter was still in the emergency room and seeing an armed person near the entrance — opened fire.

Maybe don't be so trigger-happy.
