PASADENA, Calif. (TNND) \u2014 A California police department released video Friday showing a police officer accidentally shooting another officer in September as authorities continue to investigate what they describe as a “horseplay” incident.<\/p>\n

The Pasadena Police Department said the officer-involved shooting occurred Sept. 7, 2025, in the department’s parking structure at 240 Ramona St.<\/p>\n

“The incident involved Pasadena Police Department personnel and resulted in injuries to one officer, who has since recovered,” the department said in a news release.<\/a><\/p>\n

Police said the video’s release was delayed to allow investigators to complete key investigative steps and protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation, in accordance with California law.<\/p>\n

Pasadena Police Chief Gene Harris said the incident remains under investigation by the department and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.<\/p>\n

Investigators are continuing to review evidence, including video recordings, witness statements, forensic evidence and other relevant information, according to the department.<\/p>\n

Harris described the incident as “unsafe and out-of-policy horseplay involving loaded firearms.”<\/p>\n

The brief dashboard camera video appears to show one officer jokingly pointing a handgun toward another officer seated inside a police vehicle. Moments later, the officer outside the vehicle is seen with his weapon holstered before doubling over in pain and clutching his arm.<\/p>\n
