ORLANDO, Fla. - A DEA agent who accidentally shot himself in the foot while demonstrating gun safety to school children is suing the agency, saying video of the incident has made him the joke of the Internet.

Lee Paige was making a presentation to children at the Orlando Youth Minority Golf Association on April 9, 2004, when he shot himself. Moments before the shooting, the 14-year agency veteran was displaying his firearm and telling students he was the only one in the room professional enough to handle a gun.

He was suspended for five days without pay after the accident, and the video was turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration. The lawsuit filed April 7 in federal court in Washington alleges the agency leaked the video to the public.

After it surfaced, the tape soon became popular on the Internet. It aired on television, including late-night talk shows.

Paige "is the target of jokes, derision, ridicule and disparaging comments" because of the publicity, according to the lawsuit, which seeks an unspecified amount.

DEA spokeswoman Rogene Waite declined comment because of agency policy not to discuss ongoing cases.

Paige, 45, of Windermere, told NBC's "Today" show Friday he cleared the weapon but forgot to release the magazine.

"I was at the point of attempting to demonstrate how the gun could be disassembled and put back together," Paige said. "It is something I had done hundreds of times throughout my career."

Paige, a former player for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, said he can't work undercover anymore because of the tape.

"Yesterday I walk into a salon and a young lady made mention to me I was the person that shot myself on TV," Paige told NBC. "It is something I can't get away from."

You have to commend the guy for trying to make a point from his own stupidity. The instant that he put the slide back into place, it chambered a round.

And WHAT the fuck are they doing sending a guy to talk in a school, that does undercover work?

SmokeyTheBear · 04-14-2006, 09:36 PM

its funny because after he shoots himself in the foot , he then think he should show them a bigger gun, the kids are like " dont give him another gun , put it down " lol .

what a tool ..

Triple 6 · 04-14-2006, 09:45 PM

yea, funny and all, but, u have to give it to him for keeping his composure, and , LOL, solidifying the fact ACCIDENTS do happen ...

if i witnessed that in school, i would never ever touch a gun for the rest of my life.

s9ann0 · 04-15-2006, 05:34 PM

i would have given him props , up until he started trying to handle the even bigger gun after already being shot(by himself).. That doesn't make any sense. Then he starts trying to guilt trip them by saying "now i will never be able to show these guns to kids " lol

you can't sue your employer

thats what workmans comp is for

Spunky · 04-15-2006, 07:33 PM

He isn't going to win that situation..that's a compo related issue..employers pay insurance so they can't get sued that way

Juilan · 04-15-2006, 09:01 PM

It was newsworthy. Glad it was out there so other PD's could see it.

Kevsh · 04-15-2006, 11:36 PM

I still don't understand why he had a loaded gun in the first place? Someone had to realize that taking a loaded gun into a classroom, eventually, would lead to an incident.

(Of course, if he didn't know it was loaded ... then his fault for not checking and I'm sorry for my ignorance, I saw the video but never read the full details.)

Vlad · 04-15-2006, 11:41 PM

thanks God this guy wasn't demonstrating m4 carabine...

ANAL PASTE · 04-15-2006, 11:45 PM

and its DEA's fault.... So fucking American !

chadglni · 04-15-2006, 11:56 PM

You have to admit that dude took a bullet like a champ.

As for showing other guns, he never pointed the first one in a direction dangerous to anyone else and do you really think he's going to fire a second weapon on accident? That is something he will NEVER do in his life again.

Hope that helps!
