civilian? >> what i can tell you that's we were unaware that any live ammunition for this particular weapon existed. we believe that the particular caliber of the weapon used, that there were only blank round available to the officer. >> steven knowlton is mary's youngest son. sunny was an incredible woman. i just wish i had one more day you just never plan for something like this. i know it is a fluke accident. it's devastating. >> chief lewis says his department of 49 people is devastated. will you allow a real weapon to be used again in a citizens academy like this. >> the answer is absolutely not. >> and we'll be right back. peanut butter cups. tonight is perfect. can someone read me another story? daddd? mmm coming
