Burglary suspect dies when stolen rifle fires in his truck

INDEPENDENCE, Ore. (AP) — Polk County authorities say it appears a burglar died when a rifle he'd just stolen was jostled and fired during a ride down a bumpy farm road. Detective John Williams says investigators found a shotgun and the rifle Sunday morning, side by side on the passenger-side floorboard of a stolen farm truck, barrels pointed at the driver.

Williams says it appears that a lever on the shotgun got into the trigger guard of the rifle and fired it. The weapons were among other goods taken from a nearby house on the farmland near Independence.

Williams says detectives found no indication anybody else had been in the truck, whose engine had been running for hours.

The man was identified as 19-year-old Genaro Hernandez Mendoza.

A bullet is cheaper than a tax dollar funded public defender

I wonder about that "lever of the shotgun" fired the rifle  

But last week a police K9 fired off a pistol while searching a snowbank for a "thrown" item. No injuries. Although I think the pup was put on paid administrative leave and updated firearms handling
