Perhaps I was living under a rock... but, no, I don't remember that. Interesting story.

My Google-fu is failing to produce any evidence on the investigation cited in the article (plenty of hits ca. 22 Mar 2008 re the incident, but no follow-up). Anything published on that? Curious to know the outcome, simply because "the gun went off" stated in most of the articles is nonsense. The trigger was pulled--whether that was the result of mis-handling or of poor procedures is the real question....
