Years back while doing training while on a police department the head trainer gave a safety briefing first thing in the morning. One of the things he talked about was that there had been a study of firearms training incidents and they found that a very high percentage of them occurred after lunch in the early afternoon (over 85% by my recollection.)

I don't think the study assigned any hypothesis for why this spike was occurring (such as drinking during lunch or being less mentally aware on a full stomach) it only provided statistics.

When we returned from lunch he reiterated this during a recap of the safety briefing.

I found it interesting that this incident occurred at 1:50pm.
