The report says someone told police “he racked the slide of the handgun and observed a round ejected from the chamber and then dropped the magazine out of the handgun.” He then shot Jonathan in the head. [More]
So, “someone” lied.

We’re the Only Ones Looking Bad Enough
Marion County deputy arrested, says he accidentally shot girlfriend to death while cleaning guns… “I know this looks really bad,” Boileau said, according to the arrest affidavit. “I told her I did not want this to happen…I did not want to train her in the (expletive) house like this.” [More]
Blaming her is a better look…?

At least she didn’t violate any policies:
Costco policy prohibits firearms and other weapons to be brought into the warehouse, except in the case of authorized law-enforcement officers.

Jail inmate hit by bullet from nearby FBI target practice – Jail staff found vehicles on the complex also hit by gunfire from the training exercise [More]
And several cars were hit as well, meaning multiple negligent discharges by these morons?

We’re the Only Ones Dry Firing Enough
Tangentially related, I remember years ago some guy on Facebook challenged my pointing out “James Bond’s” booger hook on the bang switch, saying he’s friends with a Tier 1 operator and they are so well trained they don’t need to follow that rule. As I recall, Matt Bracken corrected him and the guy got hot and insulting until I pointed out he was taking a poke at a SEAL.

ELIZABETHTOWN MAN SHOOTS TEEN IN HEAD WHILE FILMING VIDEO [More]
Plus he’s a “prohibited person” and the gun is stolen…
Except for the fact that shooting his victim in the head didn’t hit any vital organs, he still seems like a hands-down favorite to win… Nothing but a completed homicide should be able to beat him now.
Safety First!
Not Too Smart Alec
According to court documents obtained by ETonline, the 66-year-old leading man engaged in “horseplay” during firearm training, including one instance when he fired a blank round at a crew member, whom he’d been using to establish his line of sight. [More]
Maybe that was his initiation to join NoRA…

In other words, he shot himself. While teaching others.

Cooper’s Rule 3 Notwithstanding
That’s when store owner Valerio appears in the video and can be seen trying to pistol-whip Pullatasi, who then drops to the ground having been shot. [More]
Regardless, it sure looks like he’d have been justified if the shot had been intentional. Basically, he got in trouble for trying to be merciful.

The Memory Hole
“You need to know about guns,” Dad had said. So, we took a thick board out back and leaned it against a tree. Dad pulled out this shiny pistol. “Here,” he said. “It’s not loaded.” I reached for the gun. With no warning, the thing went off with a huge bang and blasted a large hole in the board. I may have yelled an unpleasant word. Dad was just standing there, all calm and fatherly. “You said the gun wasn’t loaded!” I screamed. “Everyone says the gun’s not loaded,” Dad replied. [More]
What a dangerous, @$$hole thing to do to a kid.

A Tennessee mother is mourning the death of her teen daughter after police said that she accidentally shot and killed her while rummaging in her purse for her keys. [More]
It sounds like being oblivious to how things work and not taking any one of several appropriate available precautions made her a walking IED.
