True, a gun doesn't just "go off" by itself. The fact is this. None of us know what the FACTS of this situation were. To presume that this individual specifically put his finger on the trigger and pulled it accidentally in some manner are PURE CONJECTURE.

Conjecture based on knowledge. More plausable indeed than the gun just "went off".

Did something overt happen to cause the weapon to unitentionally fire? In the words of Duane Thomas: "Evidently".

Evidently the trigger was pressed to the rear. ;)

On a side note, I know some journalists are quick to paint guns and their owners with a unflattering paintbrush. I personally don't think that this occurred in this article.

Sure they did. The evil gun "went off" while the poor man was simpy unholstering it. Bad gun.
