"how a handgun discharged in the police chief’s office"

Uh, someone hit the trigger or someone dropped it and it went off (assuming no dogs present).

Gotta be the ole finger on the trigger thing. I have 1911’s and Glocks and I treat them all the same.

I doubt very seriously that you could make a 1911 “go off” by dropping it.

More likely the idjit assumed that once he ejected the magazine the gun was unloaded.

yeah, the ole dropped gun thing is more of a myth than reality. Even for that era of a 1911.

It’s possible but not probable.
