Yeah, that’s the ticket
He said a department-owned gun malfunctioned and discharged while the deputies were working on it.
And it’s a twofer because one deputy shot himself and the other with it. Two firearms safety rules broken usually ends badly.

I’m having trouble imagining a malfunction that requires two people to put their hands in front of the muzzle to clear it. Perhaps they missed the first day of their gunsmith class when safety was discussed.

Actually, it would appear that they broke at least 3 maybe all four rules. Not sure that the deputy actually pulled the trigger rather than having some kind of malfunction fire the gun but that would be the normal case. The other three rules were definitely violated.

I guess they both missed the specialized training in firearms safety.

I’m a big fan of Occam’s Razor. If it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck, then it probably put its hand over the muzzle and pulled the trigger to execute take-down on the Glock that wasn’t quite ready to be taken down.
Quack.

Sooooo… How or why does a malfunctioning gun being “worked on” have a round in the chamber? Which is it? Did it malfunction or were you working on it? I doubt it malfunctioned and if you were working on it, why was it loaded?

45er makes a good point, and it made me think. It is possible that it malfed so badly on the firing line that a round was stuck in the chamber. Such a condition would only further remind one to keep the damned muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
I don’t think I can come up with a situation that resulted in what happened to those cops that wasn’t a result of multiple Four Rules violations.
