MAN ACCIDENTALLY SHOT AFTER FBI AGENT’S GUN DROPS DURING BACKFLIP IN CLUB

Police are investigating an off-duty FBI agent's apparently accidental shooting of a man when the agent did a backflip at a nightclub in the US state of Colorado, local media reported on Sunday. A video obtained by television stations in Denver shows the lanky male agent - a crowd off to his side - putting in some energetic dance moves before executing his backflip.

Unfortunately, the move was less of a crowd-pleaser than intended when his gun fell out of his pants. The agent couldn't catch it in time before it went off and shot a man in the lower leg.

The shooting victim was recovering in hospital from non-life-threatening injuries, the local ABC television affiliate said. The agent, who was not identified in reports, was taken to police headquarters and then released to an FBI supervisor.
