Interesting info here on the pistol. The only round fired was the round in the chamber. The pistol did not chamber the 2nd round, perhaps because it was at such close range that the men were fighting over it, and it was out of battery after the first (and only) shot.

How does the author know this info? Is he working this case?

1). If he had a full clip, then he was walking around with a chambered round. That is a dangerous thing to do and is greatly discouraged.

2). If he was inexperienced enough to walk around with a chambered round, then maybe he also didn't take good care of his sidearm and it just didn't work and re-chamber.
