Accidental church shooting in Tennessee

TELLICO PLAINS, Tenn. (WATE) – Police say two people were accidentally shot at a church in Tellico Plains Thursday afternoon during a discussion about the recent church shooting in Texas.
The Tellico Plains Police Department says elder members of First United Methodist Church were meeting for a Thanksgiving dinner around 1 p.m. and began discussing the Texas shooting when someone asked if anyone brought a gun to their church.
A man spoke up and said he carries his everywhere he goes. He pulled the gun out, emptied the magazine and chamber, and then started passing the gun around.
Once the gun came back around to its owner, police say the man put the magazine back in and recharged the chamber, but accidentally squeezed the trigger. The gun went off, hitting the man in the hand and his wife in the abdomen.
Both were taken to UT Medical Center by helicopter for non-life threatening injuries. Their names have not been released.
Nearby schools were briefly put on lockdown during the initial investigation. The lockdown was lifted once the scene was cleared

No such thing. It’s negligence.
How in the hell do you accidental squeeze the trigger? It’s called trigger discipline for a reason.

No trigger control

Maybe he was triggered?

Well that seems pretty ill advised if he can't load a gun with accidentally squeezing the trigger.

Sounds like he had a foolproof plan to get rid of his wife and missed by mere inches

I think you’re correct in this instance. Poor trigger discipline. But there are true accidents.

A Pennsylvania firefighter fatally shot himself when he tried to catch a gun that fell from his holster while he was trying to calm his crying son in the back seat of a car. Berwick police say 28-year-old Kenneth Morris reached through the car's rear driver's side door to comfort his one-year-old son when the .357-caliber magnum revolver fell from Morris' shoulder holster. When Morris tried to grab the falling weapon, he accidentally pulled the trigger, shooting himself in the stomach.

But if only the average Joe carried a gun these shootings wouldn't be so deadly. This is why you call the cops when one happens.

Odds that the media runs this story as much as possible? I can hear it now: “Guns are more dangerous to the people they are trying to protect than the church shooter that kills 50.”

Yep. No way you can find a hundred stories of cops accidentally shooting someone.

Yet another gun "accident" demonstrating how guns make us "safer." Fricking gun-toting moron.
