This is a clear case of someone not knowing or choosing to ignore every rule in the book regarding firearm handling. If anyone thinks this could happen to them, then they definitely shouldn't be handling a firearm until they receive some training.
I know this isn't directly related to this case, but I wish more people would follow the following steps when unloading a firearm, especially before pulling the trigger for takedown:
1) Remove the magazine.
2) Rack the slide to the rear three times. Don't try to capture or catch the round in the chamber, just let it go; you can pick it up when you're done (and if more than one round comes out, you obviously missed Step One).
3) Lock the slide to the rear.
4) Visually and physically inspect the chamber to ensure it's empty.
If everyone unloaded a firearm this way, there would be a LOT fewer negligent discharges.
