WOW sounds like the rookie has a fair amount of luck.

RIALTO, Calif. --
Rialto police said a rookie officer was accidentally shot in the leg late Sunday when a gun fell from the pants of a 17-year-old he was searching, struck the ground and discharged.
Lt. Joe Cirilo said the shooting took place shortly after 10:30 p.m. outside the Renaissance Village apartments on North Glenwood Avenue.
Two officers were on foot patrol because of recent shootings in the area and came upon a group of juveniles. Cirilo said that while one officer was patting down a 17-year-old, a handgun fell through the teen's shorts, hit the ground and fired. The bullet passed through the officer's lower left leg.
Cirilo said the wounded officer is in good condition at a local hospital. The officer is in his 20s and has been with the department about a year.
Cirilo said the 17-year-old faces a charge of possessing a loaded firearm. Three teens that were with the 17-year-old fled the scene and were not in custody, KNBC's John Cadiz Klemack reported. But Klemack said two other adults at the scene were arrested for allegedly interfering with the investigation.
