Not sure what floor, but he was showing it off in a storage closet. And from earlier articles I don’t think it was the pastor that had the gun - but obviously whoever it was will have a hard time dealing with it.

Just last weekend there was a shooting near me. Guy at a party put his gun in the safe ‘cuz he knew he would be drinking. Midway through the party he showed it off to his buddies - keeping the magazine in the safe. After showing it off put it between the bed mattress. And later still showed it off again, and pointed it at a wall and pulled the trigger to show them it was “empty”.

Same thing - hit a 20 year old girl in the head on the other side of the wall. Killed her. All because of an “empty” gun.

He was a legal concealed carry, but still an idiot.

Maybe that's part of the problem: People who get so excited about "showing off" their weapon that they can't think clearly enough to follow safety rules.
