Ashley Cole shoots work experience lad with Air Rifle. Btw I meant Ashley Cole in title shame you can't edit the title when you've made a mistake on this message board. My Brother is a marksman in the Army 1st battalion pwrr regiment. My Bro will be doing training at Cyprus then goes to the Middle East on tour in a months time. My Brother seen private soldiers showing off saying "looks lads a sniper rifle" then pick up the sniper rifle with out realising the fire-arm is loaded then point the Rifle at someone and pull the trigger killing them dead by accident this is carelessness handling. He said that is called a negligent discharge: See here for ND- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negligent_discharge This would have been the case for Cole just being stupid and showing off the Air Rifle to his teams mates and accidently shooting the work Experience lad with out knowing the Air Rifle is loaded. By the way I was in the air cadets when I was 13 and fired .22 rifles with the cadets at the firing range using live rubber head rounds only allowed a 5 round clip and I was one round off of my groupings you need all rounds/bullets holes need to be as small as a 50 pence coin and targets are 100 yards away sadly I couldn't get marksman badge. The military and police force don't use the definition "gun" like you lot say. They use the term fire-arm, Bolt Action Rifle or depending on what rounds/bullets the rifle requires aka .22 Rifle. A lot of you will say but Cole still brought an Air Rifle to work and forgot to check safety regulations. This shows how stupid all footballers are most of them are just stupid and haven't passed any gcse exams and have no common sense. In football theres a lot of money involved Cole would have paid the lad huge sums of money as Cole can afford it so the lad wouldn't charge Cole.
Injured parties do not charge suspects that's the job for the police. No the lad failed to make any complaint and more than likely since there was no evidence that could be put to Cashley in an interview; the matter was dropped. Whats the point of interviewing someone when there is no interview? Police. Did you shoot that young male on work placement? Cashley. What evidence is there I did? Police. Ah....actually none. Cashley's solicitor. Interview over.
Yes you can. Click the edit button and then choose "Go Advanced" down the bottom. Then you can edit the title. As for negligent discharge, that's only a crime in the military. In civilian life, Cole could have been charged with assault or actual bodily harm. For assault there would have to be proven intent, and for actual bodily harm there would have to be a non superficial injury. As the shot was reported to have only grazed the lad, it wouldn't class as ABH, so the police would have nothing to charge him with. And, as Constrcrepe says, unless he blew the lad's knob off, the chances of him giving evidence to the police was always likely to be slim.
I'm sure ã50k may have gone into a "trust fund" somewhere, or Uni fees and student loans paid off as well...
No one could prove Cole guilty though because of lack of evidence. And I know Negligent Discharge is a military term as my brother is in the army 1st battalion pwrr regiment soon to be mobilised in to the Middle East which I stated in the article, I don't need telling what the term is. I was using ND term as an example that accidents can happen when handling a fire-arm. I also state that Cole would have paid the lad bribe money in the article as well to be let off the hook and not be charged by him. Thanks for telling me how to edit the title though.
