From what I understand some Sheriff Deputy "weapons instructor" brings to class a LOADED machine gun. (Yes, in the class room.)
Yes, it went off. Funny how it never made the news..... 
I'd really like to know why LEO's think they need the indiscrimanate fire delivered by machine guns?

the carbines my department has have 3 round burst...................and we NEVER use it
the short story is the guns were bought by someone who was in administration and not someone who was actually going to be using them. I think this probably happens quite a bit (at least is has been my experience in the job)
I remember one time when someone in admin ordered a bunch of expandable batons without ever even speaking to a baton instructor.
Another example was someone ordering quite a bit of flashbangs and chemical munitions without ever bothering to find out what was actually needed
But then again, maybe some of them think it's just cool
