During the inspection, the range staff member — a civilian instructor the department did not identify — administered a"trigger pull test" and shot the student in the leg. Range staff initially treated the injured man. Brooke Federico, a county spokeswoman, wrote in an email in response to questions from The Desert Sun that the injured man is a county employee who attended the training as a"private citizen" and not in their work capacity.California is a"may issue" state, meaning carrying concealed weapons permits are issued by law enforcement agencies, according to the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Riverside Sheriff's Department manages applications for the county.
