    Ha!

    That should be "negligently discharged," by the way.

    In order to mimic how the media writes, I had to use "accidentally."

    The day we see them aware and honest enough to say "negligently" will be a day for celebration.

    You got me. The story was plausible and the writing style was spot-on. Good one.

    In that same vein, they probably wouldn't have used the word "weapon." Not to be nit-picky or criticize your writing, mind you. Just saying. Lousy inept scum, the authorized journos.
