The second deputy pointed the weapon at the first deputy and – apparently unaware the weapon was loaded – pulled the trigger.

Uh...right. Because the best way to find out if a firearm is loaded or not is to point it at your friend and pull the trigger.

I don't think that was a .22, though. A "Baby Glock" is usually construed as a Model 36 in 9mm, a very popular backup carry piece. The hole shown is not a .22.

Oops - typo. That’s a model 26, not 36. My bad.

I believe a G22 is .40 cal.

A Glock 22 is the standard .40 cal model.

'Baby Glocks' could be 9mm, 40, 357 sig or 10mm. Sure wasn't a 22. LOL.

Strange, I've had one going on 15+ years, loaded 99.9% of the time and never had an "accidental" discharge. Are they sure they don't mean a NEGLIGENT discharge. Sure sounds like it to me.....

My daughter pointed out that a Glock 22 is a 40 caliber pistol. That hole looks like a 40 caliber hole. So the reporter heard Glock 22 and in his head it turned into a 22 caliber Glock.
Kind of like when a Sheltie bites someone and then when the reporter shows up it turns into a pitbull

Could have been a 42.
