A 19-year-old Chandler man was shot dead Saturday after a gun he was looking at fired as it was being put away, police said.
Mark Martinez went with a friend to Jose Sandoval's home in the 2200 west block of Butler Street in Chandler around noon Saturday, a Chandler police spokesman said.
Martinez asked Sandoval, 58, to see Sandoval's gun.
Sandoval agreed and showed it to Martinez and his friend- Sandoval's nephew, police said.
After displaying the gun, Sandoval was putting it back into the holster when the gun fired, striking Martinez in the chest, police said. Martinez was transported to a local hospital where he died.
A Chandler police spokesman said the department would submit allegations of negligent homicide to the County Attorney's Office for review.
I was wondering how the gun fired and was striking Martinez in the chest, when Sandoval put a gun into the holster, that is impossible. Any discussion leave your comment here.
