Prime Minister John Key says he would write a glowing reference for a protection officer who left a loaded gun in a Parliamentary toilet. I have the utmost confidence in the guy, he has just made a terrible error," Mr Key told reporters this afternoon. But the Herald understands the loaded Glock firearm was left in a disabled toilet on the ground floor of Parliament. The officer in question had personally apologised to him, Mr Key said. Mr Key was in Auckland.
