Dancing FBI agent accidentally shoots man inside Denver bar after gun that fell out of his waistband while doing back flip goes off
'It appears an off-duty... FBI agent was dancing at a night club when his firearm became dislodged from its waistband holster and fell onto the floor,' a statement from Denver police said.
'When the agent retrieved his handgun an unintended discharge occurred, another patron was struck by a bullet in the lower leg,' the statement added.
The FBI agent can then be seen nonchalantly walking off the dance floor, appearing not to be too concerned that his weapon just discharged inside a crowded bar.
The woman who captured the incident on her phone, identified only as Julie,she could hardly believe what she was witnessing.
'Everyone was kind of shocked after it happened because [the agent] kind of put his gun back away and then he walked away,' Julie said.
'No one really knew what was going on... I honestly just wanted to make sure that my friends… [that] I knew where they were,' she added.
The agent was taken to Denver Police Headquarters and released into the custody of a FBI supervisor.
The Denver District Attorney's Office is reviewing the case and will determine if charges will be brought up against the agent.
