The man was showing off his loaded AR-15 to a friend in the back room of his mobile home, when he accidently squeezed off a round, setting the room on fire. Both the 48 yo man and his 12 yo son died from thermal injuries and carbon monoxide poisoning.
It took fire fighters 4 hours to completely extinguish the blaze, which was also marked by explosions. Apparently the man kept large quantites of black powder in the room so he could do reloads.
A tragic accident, but it has "dumbass" written all over it. First, by not ensuring his loaded weapon was on "safe" when he showed it to his friend. Then, by keeping large quantities of black powder in his living quarters.
Why is it that people who show off their guns seem to have accidental discharge incidents all of the time?
