An off-duty FBI agent accidentally fired his gun, striking another patron in the leg, at a Denver nightclub while he was dancing early Saturday, police said.

The unidentified FBI agent was at the Mile High Spirits Distillery and Tasting Bar around 12:45 a.m. Saturday when he broke out into a dance routine. A woman named Julie recorded the incident that showed the man dancing and doing a back flip. His gun then fell out of his waistband holster and on the floor.

“When the agent retrieved his handgun an unintended discharge occurred, another patron was struck by a bullet in the lower leg,” Denver police said in a statement to KDVR.


The agent was then seen placing the gun back into holster before walking off the dancefloor.

Not good for the .gov or gun owners in general IMO, what a clown... This is why you shouldn't carry while drinking.

At the risk of being called a cop basher. This situation is completely unacceptable no matter who they are. This person at best should be charged with criminal recklessness with his so-called immunity waived, for the following reasons;

1.) Being in the bar with a firearm whether, drinking or not, shocks my WCTU mindset.
2.) Acrobatics while carrying a handgun is a recipe for losing said handgun. Something the reasonable person would regard as a foreseeable circumstance.
3.) Unsafe handling when picking the weapon up. He had to picked it up with a finger on the trigger for it to go off.
4.) Any time there is a gunshot in a crowded place it would be the duty of any citizen responsible for said gunshot to assess whether damage was done. If in fact he did just holster the weapon and walk away that would be indifference to his actions that bordered on depravity.
5.) The fact that he did walk away rather than "securing the scene" shows his mindset was not of a police officer but of a private citizen. Thus, in my mind, negating the conditions the partial immunity is based on. I. E. actions necessary to the performance of enforcing the law.

Idiots with guns, no matter what their profession, are not really on topic for THR
