    Keep us updated...very interesting story. Head shot...either extremely unlucky, extremely dumb, or a placed shot. No witness reports yet?

    It shouldnt have happened, but the best explanation I have seen (on subguns.net) for an accident would of been that it had a round in a chamber, and then someone rotated it by hand, and it fired.

    (ALWAYS treat a firearm as if it was loaded!)

    Where do you get that I said it should have?

    I'm saying thats a bit coincidental. One round, and its a head shot. If it was at any considerable distance, what are the chances of it hitting someone in the head? Unless he was right there, looking down the barrel...

    I've been told that is the closest news report to the incident itself. No I won't tell you what I know, since I can't.
