The director of the Riley County Police Department said he has never fired his weapon in the line of duty in more than 40 years on the job. “For most police officers, that’s the norm,” RCPD director Dennis Butler said, adding knowing when not to shoot is one of the points of the department’s new gun range. Butler made the remark while standing in the new RCPD firing range Wednesday. The police department, along with Riley County and Manhattan city commissioners, held an open house to welcome people to view the new range and take tours of the facility. About 30 people came to the open house to see the site where officers will practice marksmanship and pass the tests required for them to use guns on the job.
