The Hindustan Times reports that Suhas Chaudhary's .38 was not locked, which led to the accidental firing on Saturday. Police report that Chaudhary had just finished his shift of guarding the Taj Mahal Hotel. When he was getting into his vehicle, he removed his gun and accidentally pulled the trigger.
No one else was reported to be injured and neither President Obama nor Michelle Obama were at the hotel when it happened. The bullet grazed Chaudhary's leg before hitting the ground. He was taken to hospital.
Obama is on a four-day visit to India, after which he is scheduled to travel to Indonesia. That LEG of his foreign tour could also run into unexpected difficulties: The continuing eruption of Mount Merapi, a volcano that has killed 120 in Indonesia so far, is being closely watched by White House officials.

um.. why did the Barney Fife picture get muted?? I thought it was a funny commentary. I mean, seriously?
The cop is ok, the article says it was basically a flesh wound. He is probably feeling a bit foolish right now.
