    Dunno...
    But certainly NOT a 'fatality'
    That would involve someone BEING dead which is not the case

    That is the media for you EeeBees. Grab a firearm photo from the photo library. Any photo will do as our readers are uneducated and won't know the difference.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    True, Rushy!! Yes, dying is usually fatal, but it was, as accounted in the link, probably a really dumb accident.
