Officer resigns after shooting fellow officer

The south Georgia police officer involved in the accidental shooting death of a fellow officer has resigned. Ray Bradford voluntarily resigned Friday following the death of Officer Al Suarez.

Bradford was cleaning his service weapon last May at police headquarters in Boston in Thomas County, when the .40-caliber Glock went off. The bullet struck then-assistant chief Suarez in the chest, and he was later pronounced dead.

No criminal charges were expected to be filed against Bradford.
