Trooper Wagner was accidentally shot and killed by a fellow officer during a defensive tactics training exercise at the State Patrol headquarters in North Platte, Nebraska.
Trooper Wagner and other officers were conducting the training in a classroom when the .45 caliber Glock handgun discharged and struck him in the chest. The handgun was reloaded during a break in training because the officer was not aware it would be used later in the day.
Trooper Wagner was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 3:00 pm.
He had been with the Nebraska State Patrol for 11 years. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, and a stepdaughter.
