...on the evening of Dec. 18, Shaver had been holding his Glock 19 aimed toward his own body as he worked to pry off its backstrap—a grip piece on the rear of the handle—when the weapon fired.
The bullet tore through his sweatshirt pocket, punched through the wall, and lodged in the headboard of the room next door, at roughly stomach height.

So much stupidity to unpack here.

• A Glock 19 cannot fire unless your finger is on the trigger.
• The gun was loaded as he worked on it...in a hotel room.
• The gun was pointed directly at his own chest
• He still managed to miss

Eagan Police were called shortly before 6:30 p.m, and collected Shaver’s firearm and ammunition, but made no arrest and pursued no criminal charges.

Surprising no one. If it had been just a member of the public, I'm sure the same would have happened, right?

But what they don't tell you is that the bed was resisting a rest.

Hotel operators should take notice. I would not stay at a chain that accepts armed idiots who might accidentally shoot me to death in my sleep.

Simpsons did it.

Is nobody asking how you could shoot through a wall in a hotel with a sidearm? I mean, how thin can these hotel walls be? Would you not hear your neighbor scratch their head through these walls?

Asking in European where walls are made of brick or concrete.
