Tara Marie Drummond was 23 and a newly sworn officer with the Kennesaw Police Department when she died on September 13, 2005. The death occurred during a firearms training session at the North Central Georgia Law Enforcement Academy in Austell. During a demonstration led by Cobb County Sheriff’s Deputy Al Jackson, a firearm discharged and a single live round struck Drummond. She was taken to a hospital and died of the wound.

Recruits later said they had been instructed to point weapons at one another and that Jackson had moved them and their firearms into face‑to‑face positions. The academy director had issued a written prohibition in 2000 against Jackson using live weapons in class. Investigators found no evidence of criminal intent, and a Cobb County grand jury declined to indict Jackson on misdemeanor charges of reckless conduct and involuntary manslaughter. The shooting was ruled an accidental shooting, and the Cobb Sheriff’s Office conducted an administrative investigation that criticized Jackson’s instructional methods.

Did anyone in that class ever come forward with more detail about what happened during the demonstration?
