Jonathan Cross, a resource officer at Thomas E. Weightman Middle School in Wesley Chapel, Florida, was fired for "mishandling" a gun.
A Florida school resource officer was fired Wednesday after accidentally discharging his gun in a school cafeteria this year.
The incident took place at around 12:40 p.m. on April 30, when Cross' holstered, duty-provided pistol discharged into a wall while students were in the cafeteria going through the lunch line, Pasco County School public information officer Linda Cobbe told USA TODAY.
After the incident, Cross went on paid administrative leave while the investigation was pending. Investigations from the Sheriff's Office and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement determined there was"nothing wrong with the handgun."
