sucks for her. maybe she should practice with an unloaded weapon...or at a range...there is a bright idea!

ND not AD! Dumb ass rookie. This is how guns look bad.

What an idiot.

Then again, it said she put a hole in the wall of her shower. Maybe she was intentionally creating a peephole for her neighbor to watch her through.

I bet it had to do with the 2am thing. I can barley make a fast draw and hit the toilet at that time of morning.

OMG what an idiot! and yet this is who could be walking into your camp site.

What's the big deal? I'd say this definitely qualifies as negligent discharge. She knew better than to point a loaded gun around in her apartment. That's negligence no matter how you slice it.

She just got finished watching Dirty Hairy and was running around the apartment acting out a scene

I'm glad to see that she was practicing. I'm not very happy she failed to unload the firearm. There's a reason dry fire practice is called "dry-fire".

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. My last Fed agency had about 6 cases like this in the 10 1/2 years I was with them. It's a world wide agency and pretty big, so the percentages of this happening are very small, but it does happen. My agency recommended using our body armor on a chair backed by a brick wall for appropriate backstop. Body armor is replaceable and stops penetration. There are also some gun bags with kevlar built in to them for loading and unloading in places without a clearing barrel.

I glad nobody was hurt. AD's and ND's happen. You shoot enough and you will have an AD or an ND. The key is to have secondary safety rules in place to stop the AD or ND from injuring anyone. This one is pretty bad since she clearly violated multiple safety rules to cause the incident. I bet she needs new drawers and learned a real hard lesson that night.

Maybe she thought that the weapon just had to be moisture free
It was raining, she was indoors... all is well.
