The person threw the gun on a table, which fired at a man's face. He was then taken to Renown Regional Medical Center, where he was listed in critical condition.

  1. Hmmm, its been less than 24 hours. Does that make it lengthy? They haven't even released the name of the person shot yet. And it seems like they haven't even talked to everyone present yet.

    "Right now, police are investigating the incident as an accidental shooting, but they are seeking a "person of interest," described as a Hispanic man in his 20's.
    Witnesses say he was seen leaving the area following the shooting."

    What would bring someone to flee after an accidental shooting?

  2. Throwing around a loaded gun? Negligence.
