Gun goes off after breaking in half?!

[PlinKing2392]

I read this article and didn't really think twice about the pistol whipping or the kids. All I could think of, was who was going to be the first to mention that this was probably a Glock.

You were.

If the gun is going to be used as a club, theres no need to have it loaded!

I am not sure in all the Hi Point bashing threads/videos I have seen one break in half...
Is there something worse then a Hi Point?

That's got to be one of the worst jobs of news reporting I've ever seen.

Not one fact is clear other than the fact that shots were fired, someone was assaulted, and school-kids were in the general vicinity.

How does a gun go off AFTER it has broken in half? How does a gun break in half?

Geez

This whole story is full of fail.

Figuring a semi-auto pistol, if it "broke in half" then the magazine would be in a separate piece from the barrel, which is the only place a round can fire from. So how would there have been "shots" fired since most pistols I know of only can chamber one round at a time, and can't feed a second if the mag is somewhere other than attached to the slide.

Not even going to talk about a revolver.

Considering how well the story was written, I am guessing the shots came from someone else who had a firearm and pulled the trigger multiple times, and the one that broke didn't fire anything.

For the record the pistol that I broke in half was a Colt Frontier.

That's a new one on me.

The gun probably went off when striking the person. Then, the slide probably came off because it wasn't properly put together.

I agree, there aren't much in the way of facts in the article.

It seems all of the local news channels are suffering from the same malady. INCOMPETENCE! They know how to look good on TV and pay homage to the king but the reporting (missing elements of who, what, when, where and why), grammar and spelling errors not picked up by editing actually make the news stories hard to read. I guess it is due to poorly educated young reporters and poor management of them.

Lol. I never said they would. I just thought, "I bet the INGO ers would be all over this with Glock talk."

Davis Industries, Raven Arms, and Jennings just to name a few. I ain't sticking up for Hi Point by any means, but there are worse.

Not to get away from OP, but did anyone think that the guy who was pistol whipped could have been Jaws from James Bond? I mean, that's the only only way I see a gun breaking when used as a club.

Are you sure it wasn't a Jemenez .380?
