The gun thing has now been taken to the next level.

Fipps had a dog in the vehicle which he had ordered to move from the front seat into the back. While the dog was roaming around the back seat of the truck, it stepped on a loaded 300 Winchester Magnum which caused the gun to discharge. According to Kozisek, Fipps was outside of the truck when the bullet shot through the cab of the truck into Fipps left arm.
Oh yes - it was accidental, so no intent by the dog. Guess they saw a need to point that out:
[T]he evidence and testimonies from witnesses point to an accident and not an intent to harm.
