This sad story was on the local news last night. Here are two links (one says the gun was hers, the other says it was his):
Soldier faces possible charges in accidental shooting of girlfriend | KOMO News - Seattle, Washington | Local & Regional
Boyfriend Accused Of Accidentally Shooting Girlfriend In Chehalis - Seattle News Story - KIRO Seattle
What do you think the guy's punishment should be? He is/was in the military yet still broke multiple gun safety rules.
Also if you watch the video clip under the title, it appears the gun is a Walther P22.
Additionally in the first link, the prosecutor says:
"And as he racked it back his hand slipped, the slide fell forward, he caught a bullet through his finger and unfortunately as he was doing this the gun was pointed at Miss Whitson," said Lewis County Prosecutor Mike Golden."
So does this mean when he racked the slide, he had his finger on the trigger? I don't see how the gun could discharge merely by racking the slide.
