Milwaukee police speed up changing of gun magazines after shootout
By Tom Held of the Journal Sentinel

The Milwaukee Police Department firing range will be open around-the-clock this weekend to address a problem with the magazines used with officers' Glock .40-caliber handguns, according to a directive from Police Chief Edward Flynn.

The department had been exchanging the magazines systematically after detecting a problem last year, but it accelerated the replacement after an officer's gun jammed during a shootout last Saturday.

A bullet casing jammed in Officer Vidal Colón's gun after he had fired 13 shots at Louis M. Domenech in an alleyway on the south side. Colón and Domenech were both wounded in the shootout, and both are recovering from their injuries.

Domenech was charged in the matter Thursday.

According to Flynn's memo, officers encountered problems with the department-issued Glock handguns while shooting on the department range, and the problem was traced to a design flaw in the magazines. The manufacturer agreed to replace 2,700 magazines at no charge.

The transition to the new magazines was being done during firearms requalification, but the chief accelerated the swaps following the Colón shootout. New magazines will be issued to match 600 guns, with the training academy open 24 hours a day through Sunday, according to Flynn.
