Guns don't accidentally fire like that.

Not trying to be smart Donna, but a weapon can accidently discharge if it is dropped and hits wrong when a round is chambered.

I don't want to be picky.....but if it was a shotgun, they wouldn't have had to remove a "bullet"...pellets, perhaps.....

Could have been a slug....

He should have had better gun control! Had he done that he wouldn't have been shot by his own gun.

Bottom line he was irresponsible.

I sort of agree Casinokid. My first question is, what exactly were they doing, with a shotgun, at 1am? I understand that some people work odd hours and such, but most people don't have a shotgun out at 1am, unless something is wrong.
