Four people were injured in a misfire incident at a gun show in South Bend on Saturday.
Police were called to the show at the St. Joseph County Fairgrounds shortly before 9 a.m.
A vendor was reportedly setting up for the show and attempting to clear a shotgun when it discharged. Four people received minor graze wounds and were treated at the scene.
No arrests were made and no one required hospitalization.

This incident gives law abiding gun owners a bad name.
This clown should never be allowed to own, sale or participate in any gun related functions again.
“sale” lol
“Zon” 😆
Agree with Keith This was a preventable incident NO FIREARMS ARE EVER LOADED at a firearms show No ammo is ever placed into or near a weapon PUBLISH the name of the shooter
Also this was NOT a firearm misfire The firearm operated correctly The cartidge operated correctly the handler did not here is the definition
misfire. / (ˌmɪsˈfaɪə) / verb(intr) (of a firearm or its projectile) to fail to fire, explode, or ignite as or when expected. (of a motor engine or vehicle, etc) to fail to fire at the appropriate time, often causing a backfire.

Spot on. This was an “accidental discharge” or possibly a “unintentional discharge”, depending on whether or not he touched the trigger.
It was a miracle that nobody was seriously hurt or killed.
