Rochester Police gun instructor Manny Ortiz he accidentally shot himself while driving to work.
. He served for 22 years with the Rochester Police Department and was as an instructor at the police academy, where he taught firearms and defensive tactics to a generation of cadets.
Ida Perez, director at Ibero Children and Family Stability Services and chair of the Scrantom Street Block Club, called Ortiz one of the best Latino officers in the community.At his funeral, Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren said Ortiz had a presence that was larger than life. Police Chief La’Ron Singletary described Ortiz as a person every other officer looked up to and wanted to emulate.
How could a veteran police officer and a longtime firearms instructor accidentally shoot himself? Why would a person who was so well versed in gun safety have pulled his weapon out of its holster while driving down a busy road on a dark rainy night?A fatal shot The reviewed documents offer no insights into why officer Ortiz’s gun discharged while he was driving, but they do credibly explain how Ortiz was fatally wounded.Deputies found Ortiz’s personal firearm, a 9mm Smith & Wesson M&P, on the floorboard on the passenger’s side of the SUV inside a personalized molded waistband holster. Authorities said the holstered weapon was tucked into Ortiz's front waistband; a method known as"appendix inside the waistband" or AIWB.
He also made a phone call to his fiancée to let her know what had happened in the likely very short time frame between the shot and when his vehicle came to a final stop. One of the advantages of the technique is that it helps keep the weapon well-concealed while providing quick access when needed in a hurry. The disadvantage, of course, is that it leaves the business end of the gun pointed in a dangerous direction.
