"When he shook the item out of the sock, police say the gun accidentally discharged in his hand."

.....when his accidental finger accidentally pulled the accidental trigger.

“When the male co-worker discovered a sock with something inside, he emptied the sock and a .22-caliber handgun fell into his hand, police said. The weapon accidentally discharged and struck the victim in the chest, police said. She later died at Christ Hospital.”

Maybe this?

Do not try to catch a dropped gun.
