Sheriff pleads no contest in shooting he called an accident

ATLANTA — An Atlanta-area sheriff who says he accidentally shot and injured a woman while they were practicing police tactics inside an empty model home pleaded no contest to a reckless-conduct charge Tuesday. Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill entered the plea under the state’s first-offender statute and was ordered to serve 12 months on probation and pay a $1,000 fine, according to a news release from the Gwinnett County district attorney’s office. Hill had acknowledged shooting Gwenevere McCord in an empty model home in Lawrenceville on May 3, 2015. McCord told investigators several weeks after the shooting that Hill would never intentionally harm her and also said the two were practicing police tactics.
