“Authorities believe Yeager negligently discharged the firearm.” Well, yeah. Guns don’t just go off by themselves.
So, who was this drug dealer looking to do business with? And why was he fiddling with his firearms during a wrestling meet?
“Yeager was also in possession of illegal narcotics”
He was probably tweaking.
