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.
It seems from the video that the gun fell out and went off when he picked it up to put it back in his holster. He was trying to a backflip for the crowd.
He's kinda old to do backflips so it wasn't perfect but it was pretty good for a big man. Usually big guys have problems wrapping their height and mass fast enough to do any kind of backflip.
What was that gesture with the hands at the end? Oops? My bad? Shit happens?
He just kind of walked away. Apparently it took a minute or two before people realized the guy had got shot in the leg. I read a report that the victim was a friend or acquaintance of the FBI rootin'-tootin' dancer but can't substantiate that it was friendly fire. Then they found the victim, called the ambulance, the cops came and evacuated the bar, now the bar says they're going to install metal detectors.
I think the agent was drinking. The dancing just looked wrong. His rhythm was off, movements a little disjointed and awkward, etc. Like he was trying to recall what it was like when he was younger, sober, lithe, and a better dancer.
