According to Lt. Robin Heiden, the female gun owner was in the Attorney General’s Office when she failed to clear the chamber and the gun went off. The gun fired a bullet into the ground and a nearby box.

Heiden says the Attorney General’s Office will be conducting an investigation into the incident.
