'That could have literally killed me': Bystander recalls night immigration agent accidentally fired gun in Eagan hotel [View all]
A federal immigration agent deployed to Minnesota accidentally fired his handgun in an Eagan hotel, shooting a bullet through the wall and into the headboard in an adjacent room.
Eagan police were dispatched to the Hampton Inn at 3000 Eagandale Place shortly before 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 18 after agent Bradley Shaver, 53, shot his Glock 19 while attempting to change out a part on the handle, according to a police report reviewed by Sahan Journal.
The bullet went through the agent’s sweatshirt pocket, through the wall and into the neighboring room, according to the report.
The room’s occupant, Aaron Wukawitz, had just checked into the hotel and was walking down the hallway to his room when he heard the gunshot. He got into his room and heard the federal agent cursing and panicking. A bullet was stuck in the headboard above a bedside table.
“That could have literally killed me,” Wukawitz told Sahan Journal.
