Deputy Justin Brannock, 28, was taking his personal firearm out of its holster at 10:28 p.m. when the gun fired

One of my pet peeves is the use of the passive tense, which lazy writers often use to hide responsibility for the act. Here's the sentence using the active tense: "Deputy Justin Brannock, 28, was taking his personal firearm out of its holster at 10:28 p.m. when he fired the gun."

On a side note, I bet the gun was a Glock.

Other sources note the gun was personally owned (not a service issue). Likely a backup. How common are Glocks for backups?

Why are Glocks prone to negligent discharge? I own a Sig Sauer 9mm. and a S&W .357 but I've never owned or fired a Glock. I'm curious why people keep saying this.
