re: Port Allen man kills wife on accident while cleaning gun

Very possible this actually happened as an accident.

When I was in my teens my dad was sitting on the edge of his bed. He grew up with firearms, very respectable of them, and knew how to handle them. Anyways, he was cleaning a colt .45. Was sitting on the corner of the bed, but got up to walk outside before he finished.

He placed the magazine in, racked the slide, dropped the mag, added another round to the Mag, and slammed the mag back in. When he placed the mag back in, the gun went off. Shot a round through the mattress into the floor.
