Fairley was charged with several drug charges, Reckless Endangering, Failure to Register as a Sex Offender, and Parole Violation. Brazelton was cited for Possession of a Controlled Substance.
Even having given it the obvious "evil" eye, it's still the gun's fault. Whew! I feel so much better knowing a wayward, inanimate hunk of steel has been corralled at long last.
Born and raised in Hillsboro, OR. I would say the wording is exactly how the writer wanted it to be. Oregon is a huge left state and pretty anti gun so he probably believes the gun can go off by itself.
I just got back from a 2 week vacation there and had to leave my gun at home because they do not recognize Michigan's CPL...MICHIGAN! Kids here are born wearing Camo and shoot before they can walk. Ugh I felt naked the entire time I was there.

Fixed it for ya. The rest of us are quite fond of our guns. And we have some of the best concealed carry laws (or lack thereof) in the country, save for the stupid refusal to recognize most out of state permits.
Again liberal spin. It sounds good but how far is narrowly missing someone? A foot? 6 feet? In the next room? They just write this stuff to sensationalize how evil guns are. The truth is that two bad guys were playing with a gun and they almost shot their neighbor. Not as good of a headline if you write the truth.
It's true for the People's Republic of Portand and the Willamette Valley down to Eugene. Try spewing anti-gun rhetoric in southern, central and eastern Oregon.
Back in the 1980s, the Portland Police Bureau was negotiating a new labor contract with the city. The police union rep sat down for a session with the city reps and (so the story goes) took out his .38 Chief's Special, laid it on the table, and said "let's negotiate". It was widely reported at the time that the city reps were so intimidated by that scary revolver on the table, they caved in to the union's demands.
This may or may not be an urban myth, but the union rep was the type that would do something like this.
Idiot reporters use the same verbiage with mean old SUV's. I'm seeing more and more headlines that "a red SUV ran over a woman..." or "the SUV just flipped and rolled 3 times..." Of course, the operator never has anything to with the situation.
Aside from the "it went off" comments, seems to like two thugs with little if any safety instruction chambered a round, removed mag and pulled trigger.
Or, removed mag, pulled trigger and realized that the weapon actually is deadly.
Sounds and looks like a couple of thugs that don't know horse poor from shinola about the weapon system.
I'll bet that the two intelligence-challenged individuals were "looking at", as in "handling" the gun, when it went off....
Of course, to the anti-gun bunch, it makes perfect sense that an evil, deadly, treacherous device like a gun can be induced to go off by simply looking at it :aargh4:
I guess their mothers never taught them to look with their eyes and not with their fingers....
