This is yet another tragic case of failing to verify.
I add this to my collection of stories to tell when talking about handgun (actually all firearms) safety.
Never assume the weapon is unloaded just because you removed the magazine (assuming it is a magazine-fed weapon). There always can be a sneaker hiding back up in the chamber.
Check, double check, triple check and check again.
Please don’t take this as an argument for “gun control” unless you mean the necessity of the individual to maintain control of the firearm in his or her hand. Taking the right to keep and bear arms away from the people is a sure step to tyranny, which history has shown over and over again.
