Benelli Nova Fires When Pumped

Even if he did close the bolt with his finger on the trigger it should not fire until he releases the trigger and presses it again. Which he may well have done. None of the newer pumps are supposed to do this.

The odds of 1, let alone 2 guns malfunctioning this way seem impossible to me. I'd like to know for sure what the cause actually is.
 
There'd have to be a trigger reset in the process, but that might happen without the shooter being alert to it when the gun recoils. The Nova has a very short reset.
