Note that the owner loaded the gun.
"The woman, who wore protective goggles, took the 4.5 kilogram rifle and held it while the man put some gunpowder in it."
It's quite possible the gun was double loaded. A friend double loaded his modern in-line. IIRC, the first ball was 6'' from the beech, indicating that the second charge ignited at that point and stopped the first ball. The striker was blown back and the bottom of the scope was singled. I hate to think what the pressure got to.
