A number of “should have”(s)” in this one.

The laws that apply to gun owners don't apply to the Feds. I doubt he'll even get a reprimand from his supervisor, much less face any criminal charges.So many things wrong in this story. I believe the worst is the Denver PD did not arrest him confiscate the pistol and hold him until trial or he gets bail, then let the FBI have him to do what they will with him. The example set by him and Denver PD and FBI is outrageous.

....and I doubt the victim will receive any compensation for his injuries, either.
“Criminal negligence”. A person acts with criminal negligence when, through a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would exercise, he fails to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk that a result will occur or that a circumstance exists.

The notion that everyone who is law enforcement is well trained is frankly false. In my experience unless the officer is part of a response team such as SWAT or similar his weapons handling is often worse than what I can see at a shooting club. This is based off of 100+ hours of observing various officers in training events.There are no accidental shootings. The Term is ND
Negligent Discharge.
Personal rights preclude releasing his name. Wow.
This occurred with someone who obviously should be extremely well trained.
Certainly clears up why we have the issues we do with anyone who can buy a gun. Criminally ND and injured and killed people are all to common.
Not because he accidentally shot someone. Not because he was doing dance moves in a bar and lost control of his weapon. But because of the unpardonable sin of embarrassing the FBI. And doing it VERY publicly.

So, there are ACCIDENTAL discharges
There is a name for people like that.
Exactly! And please, tell me he wasn’t waisted!? Rather, tell me he was - how can a man “dance” like that sober?He was released to a supervising FBI agent (apparently with no bail), and his name has not been released.
I doubt any private citizen would be accorded the same courtesies in a similar situation.

I have a personal observation. The guy was an FBI agent, the agency is an investigative organization. They have a great deal of responsibility for dangerous criminals and spend a lot of time rolling around in the mud with killers.
