@kevinrns @lerxst I believe that reports are he was a 30-year veteran of some sort of federal law enforcement I think. He then came out of retirement to work for ICE on this assignment.

@RichSPK ah yes I hear you there

@kevinrns local PD came and investigated and verified that the room into which the round was discharged was unoccupied at the time.

Although, it was a near miss... Someone had been assigned that room by the front desk and was actually in the hallway proceeding towards the room when the agent fired his weapon.

The other hotel guest heard the shot and thought some piece of equipment had experienced a catastrophic failure in a wall or something.

@RichSPK They responded to a community member's FOIA request. (And repeated FOIA pinging, it would seem)

@Retreival9096 that would be a good thing to have, indeed!

@huntingdon the police report describes him as attempting to re-attach a part that fell off of his pistol (the backstrap) and he didn't unload the gun before servicing it

The police report is a hoot though... "On 12/18/2025 at approximately 1927 hours, I, Officer Wayde Anderson #194, and other officers were dispatched to the Hampton Inn located at 3000 Eagandale Place in the city of Eagan for a weapons call. Dispatch notes indicated that federal agents were staying in room 322, and an agent's firearm had been fired in the room. I arrived and made contact with the federal agent in question whom I identified as Bradley Shaver. Bradley wasn't injured; however, I observed a hole in his sweatshirt that I later learned was caused by the fired 9mm round."

"Bradley's supervisor, Adam Autio, was contacted and informed of the incident. The firearm, as well as two magazines, 28 unfired 9mm rounds, the "backstrap", the fired casing, and fabric from Bradley's clothing were entered into evidence for safekeeping. Adam informed officers he would be picking up the firearm for processing."

This part is wild...

"As he was doing this, he heard a very loud bang. Initially he thought the gunshot came from somewhere else and he yelled 'shots fired!' and then told his wife he had to go and hung up. Shaver then felt heat on the left side of his body, looked down and saw the damage to his shirt and realized the shot had some from his own weapon."

@ligniform yeah i couldn't find it, either

@FritzAdalis lighting?

ICE are clearly hiring only the best and brightest fascist high school dropouts with anger management issues and poor dexterity.

Wondering what journalists might be interested in the news story of an ICE agent negligently discharging his gun through the walls of a hotel he was staying at.

Folk FOIA'd the police report and such...

...there are some choice photos. I don't think it's been picked up by any news outlets, though.

This evidence is available, but it likely needs a journalist or someone else similar who can curate it and package it up for easy public digestion.

@allpoints @mitch that is pretty cute, yes ️

(I would probably be remiss, however, if I didn't mention to people that it's generally inadvisable for animals to ride on an escalator like that. Paw injuries sometimes occur at pinch points. When going between floors vertically, conventional stairs or an elevator are the safest place for our furry family members and friends.)
