It was his own gun, and he didn't know there was one in the chamber?
Not only is this horrible gun handling (violating three of the four rules), but horrible awareness. The "I didn't know there was one in the chamber" is just outright stupid, since that means he was planning on racking the slide upon drawing the gun (something not easy to do), and he would have been the one to chamber the round to begin with! Methinks he is trying to hide a brain fart by pretending to be stupid negligent, not criminally negligent.
A tragic mistake caused by weapons-grade stupid.
