Milwaukee police said they were so afraid of their department-issued handguns randomly firing, they wouldn't bring them home near their family
Officers with Wisconsin's Milwaukee Police Department were reportedly so worried about their SIG Sauer P320 handguns randomly firing that they wouldn't bring the weapon home.
"Our officers are fearful of the gun," Milwaukee Police Association officers union head Andrew Wagner told The Washington Post as part of an investigation published on Tuesday.
"They're not taking it home. They don't want it around their family," Wagner said of the department-issued semi-automatic pistol.
An eight-month investigation by The Washington Post and The Trace found that more than 100 people claim that their P320 pistols fired when they did not pull the trigger in incidents dating back to 2016, according to the report.
The investigation also found that at least 80 people were wounded in those shootings.
A representative for New Hampshire-based gun manufacturer SIG Sauer did not immediately respond to requests for comment by Insider on Tuesday.
In a statement to The Washington Post, the gunmaker denied that the P320 was able to fire without someone pulling the trigger.
In December, Milwaukee police began replacing the SIG Sauer pistols with Glock firearms, local outlet Fox6 reported.
