A Des Moines police officer accidentally fired his service weapon while practicing his “quick draw” while on-duty at the city’s local airport.

Officer Brady Pratt, 23, reported he was in the airport facing a west wall when he drew his firearm from his holster to practice his "quick draw" skills. The gun went off and a bullet shot through the wall and up a hallway. 

​It was a holiday miracle no one was hurt.

According to Pratt, he "unknowingly had his finger on the trigger” when he rapidly pulled the gun out of the holster, discharging “a round into the ceiling tile."

​Hearing about this incident, it’s hard not to think of Quick Draw McGraw, the fictional anthropomorphic horse who served as a bumbling, if inept, cowboy sheriff in the Hanna Barbera Cartoons of the same name.
