D.E.A. Agent Shoots Self in Foot, Sues (4/12/06)
Today's hero first came to fame after shooting himself in the foot with his service pistol in front of a group of school kids while giving a lecture on handgun safety. Now, as The Smoking Gun (ironically) reports, the agent is suing the D.E.A. for allowing the video of his shame to 'escape' into the public, causing him difficulty at work due to colleagues mocking him. (The original video of the self-inflicted gunshot is also available through the above link.)
A surprising number of people have accidentally shot themselves or others with 'unloaded' semi-automatic pistols. Such guns can still have a bullet loaded in the firing chamber even after the clip has been removed.
