I don't even understand how it got to that point. Don't you call the police before you answer the door if you think someone is breaking in? Like, if I heard banging on my front door in the early hours of the morning, and I thought someone was trying to break in, I would CALL THE POLICE, then lock myself in my room,…

I'm sure it can happen. It seems like a pretty unfortunate set of circumstances to have your gun accidentally go off in someones face, though. I can see shooting someone in the arm/leg/torso being accidental, but the face?

How do you accidentally shoot someone in the face?
