I saw that in the picture also.
I would never expect a liberal newspaper to report this.
Although to be 100% fair I could not tell if the chamber was loaded or not. Why cock the pistol if the chamber is not loaded? It makes it a bit easier to rack the slide to load a round, the shooter does not have to overcome the spring force to cock the hammer.
Why would the media report that? After all they failed to mention that the “victim’s” previous arrest was for shooting at a cop in Houston.
