A 24-year-old man accidentally shot by an FBI agent doing a backflip on the dance floor of a Colorado nightclub says he initially couldn't believe he had been wounded while enjoying a night out with friends and thought "some idiot set off a firecracker."

In an exclusive interview with ABC News' "Good Morning America" set to be broadcast Thursday, Thomas Reddington said he remains "confused" by the bizarre incident that happened at the Mile High Spirits Tasting Room near downtown Denver around 12:45 a.m. Saturday.

If the firearm in question was a government issue then the victim has won the lottery.

Only took 3 highly trained “urinalists” to put this story together. So, it was the guns fault not the assclown special field agent sticking his finger where it shouldn’t be. Is that about right?

Drunk, dancing in a bar, firing a gun and wounding an innocent person and they say he, "Could possibly face criminal charges"?

As opposed to what? A 3 day suspension with pay?

The morning news shows said he could face criminal charges.

Definitely not good for your career as an FBI agent..............
