Geneva officer fired shots while drunk

A Geneva police officer has been given an 18-month suspended prison sentence for firing his service weapon inside the police station on Boulevard Carl-Vogt while drunk.

In all he fired seven shots at the rubbish bin. One of his colleagues was injured by a ricochet.

Despite being drunk, the officer then took his colleague to the hospital in a police car, using the lights and sirens.

The shooting was two years ago, but a court has just handed down the sentence. 

He’d already been sacked.
