First off, this guy is no Johnny Utah. Second off, can’t dance for shit. Third off, if your going hit the dance floor and attempt a showstopper you clearly don’t know how to execute, you really need to put your gun down first.
The off-duty agent was dancing when the handgun fell from his waistband holster. It fired as he went to pick it up, hitting a man in the leg.
The who man shot was taken to a local hospital, a Denver police spokesman said.
The agent, whose identity wasn’t released, was dancing at the Mile High spirits distillery and tasting bar at around 12.45am on Saturday when the incident occurred, the spokesman added.
Police interviewed the agent before releasing him to an FBI supervisor. An investigation is continuing, and any charges will be determined by the Denver district attorney’s office, officer Marika Putnam said.
