I don't own guns but how the fuck does this happen? Isn't it kinda important to empty the gun before cleaning it? Sounds like natural selection to me.
My best guess is that he isn't that used to handling guns and assuming that it's a semi-auto he ejected the magazine but failed to rack the slide and clear the chamber.
To clean a semi auto handgun, I always field strip it. Guy is an idiot.
