Let's see. Climbing a ladder while holding a gun with his finger ON the trigger. Wow.

Glad he's going to be ok.

Or your booger hooker off the trigger. Either one works.

Maybe he had his finger off the trigger and caught the trigger on something sticking out.

Although he should have called the police and not investigated. I'm sure many here, including me would have investigated.
