i know both of these guys, this was a total accident, he didnt know it was even loaded cause he wasnt the one that loaded it, the clip wasnt even in the gun, and he never actually tried to squeeze the trigger, plus he didnt know josh was in front of the barrel cause he was holding it sideways, i personally dont think he should face any charges and even josh agrees and has spoken on that in court.
