Miller then ran out of the house with a revolver, put it into the passenger side window of the victim’s car and pulled the trigger.
I thought revolvers typically didn't jam. No bullet in the chamber?

Many years ago a criminal pulled the trigger 6 times on a Mobile, AL. cop. It went click 6 times without firing.
Later the revolver was checked. All 6 cartridges had firing pin indentations. The perp had backed off the strain screw to get a lighter DA pull.
Just enough. I suppose the cop considered himself lucky.

Any firearm can have a misfire (fail to discharge usually because old ammunition has absorbed moisture). The nice thing about a double-action revolver is that all you have to do is pull the trigger again.

Revolvers are pretty reliable, but there are still lots of reasons they can go “click”.

Pull it again, quick (if all chambers full).
The victim was spared by God.

The cylinder didn’t jam, the click was the firing pin hitting the dud round. Most likely a misfire. Attempted murder is punished by probation?
