It does not state anywhere that the gun was pointed at the man. Nor does it state what the employee was doing when the weapon was discharged. It is most likely that there was a degree of negligence involved but based on the given information from the article, the only REAL FACTS we know for sure are about the injured man's medical condition, the process of taking him to the hospital and that the store (wisely) refused to comment to the local news.

The article covered: Who?, Where?, When?, What? (but not entirely) and left How? to your imagination in regards to the shooting part.

Those are FACTS. Regardless, it will probably/hopefully be settled out of court with much more media coverage.
