Handgun discharges, killing Press Herald columnist M.D. Harmon at his home

quote [ The champion of conservative viewpoints was showing the weapon to a teenage visitor when it went off as the boy handled it, police say.
...
Harmon, a steadfast defender of gun rights and a champion of conservative viewpoints, was a longtime editor and columnist for the Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram. He worked for the newspaper for 41 years, and continued to write a weekly column after he retired in 2011.
...Harmon wrote that he had belonged to the National Rifle Association from the day of his first paycheck. ]

The picture of a responsible gun owner.

"handgun discharges", "it went off as the boy handled it"
This passive voice "shit-happens" description of somebody shooting another person to death.

Not dystopian violence - mundane violence.

I was hunting from an early age also, but the only training was from somebody's dad or uncle - quality varied.
