Another one just happened 2 weeks ago, announced last week - caught on video, Ceres PD calling it an "Uncommanded Discharge"
Ceres, CA- On June 24, 2025, at approximately 12:50 p.m., a Ceres Police Department School Resource Officer (SRO) was injured when her department-approved firearm discharged while holstered in the parking lot of Blaker-Kinser Junior High School, located at 1601 Kinser Road in Ceres. The officer involved in the incident has been identified as Officer Salin Chrim, a sworn member of the department assigned as a School Resource Officer.
At the time of the incident, summer school had concluded for the day, and only a limited number of students and staff remained on campus. Officer Chrim was not interacting with any students when the firearm discharged. Officer Chrim sustained a non-life-threatening injury to her leg and was immediately transported to a local hospital for medical treatment. No other individuals were injured.
The firearm involved in the incident was a Sig Sauer P320, carried in a department-approved holster. Preliminary review has determined that both the firearm and holster were compatible and compliant with current Ceres Police Department policy. The discharge is being investigated as an uncommanded discharge, as the firearm was securely holstered and not being manipulated by Officer Chrim at the time of its discharge.
In accordance with department procedures, the firearm and holster will be submitted to the California Department of Justice for full inspection and evaluation to determine the cause of the discharge and ensure the continued safety of our officers and community.
The Ceres Police Department takes incidents involving firearms extremely serious and is committed to transparency, officer safety, and public trust. We are fully cooperating with the appropriate agencies during this evaluation.
Further updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
