I heard a woman was shot at the Sharonville, Ohio Gun Show Friday during set up. I heard it was a negligent discharge. Anyone have any more information?

Some information here:
PD: Accidental shooting at Sharonville gun show wounds vendor
PD: Accidental shooting at Sharonville gun show wounds vendor
So, he released the top slide (without pulling the trigger) and the gun went off. So the bullet stripped off a magazine loaded in the gun?

I live about 40 miles east of Cincinnati. If there is anything else on the late local news I will report back here.

I have been there many times as it is 15 minutes away but not recently. I've called some of my friends and so far I know what you folks know.
If I learn anything I will pass it on.

Negligent discharge in Louisville RK show last w-end on Friday. Show was open and it was a bolt action rifle that had an unnoticed cartridge in barrel that did not extract is what they think happened. The vendor is an ffl and a well known good guy but he was booted from the show immediately. No one was hurt but a glass enclosure for a fire extinguisher was mortally wounded. Vendor thinks he was set up.

Maybe that's why many gun safety courses have you sticking your finger into the action to verify what you think you didn't see isn't there.
I was at a gunshow years ago when a woman brought her late husband's rifle in to sell it. The security guy took it to check it, and when he pulled the bolt back, a live round ejected...

"Vendor thinks he was set up" Well considering the amount of"SWATING" it maybe the case. ANTI wanting a show.
At the last show I did a fellow wanted to trade/sell me a shotgun. Bolt was open when handed to me. I cycled the action nothing untoward. A Benelli/Beretta type. Hit the latch underneath the action and oh s**t...a shell came out of the mag. There were 2 in it. No he didn't get the ammo back.. I also had a discussion with the owner and the security guy at the door about how to check those particular guns. Scared the owner when I removed those 2 Nitro mags from that gun.....outside! I was not too happy either.

Yes the person was at a gun show, selling guns.
Was he a sales person or a gun person.
There is a big difference!

Cincinnati area authorities have a way of over-reacting when dealing with those trying to follow the law. I hope that the lady is well and that any official ramifications on future gun shows are reasonable.
