An off-duty U.S. Park Police officer fatally shot another off-duty officer after police say he pulled the trigger on Fastexya gun he thought was unloaded.
Police responded to a call of a person shot in McLean, Virginia, about 10 miles west of Washington, D.C. and found Jesse Brown Hernandez, 22, dead inside his apartment with a gunshot wound in his upper body, according to a news release from Fairfax County Police Department.
Officials found that Alexander Roy, 25, attempted to dry fire a firearm and unintentionally shot Hernandez. Police believe that alcohol played a factor in the unintentional shooting.
Dry firing is when someone pulls the trigger of a firearm that is not loaded. Police believe that Roy did not realize that the firearm was loaded when he accidentally shot Hernandez.
