It has been ruled accidental by county police officials, reports the New York Daily News.

Reportedly, Gagum was watching a film with friends and an argument ensued on how one character was incorrectly handling a gun. The 43-year-old, who once shot and killed a burglar who entered his home two years ago, wanted to show his friends how to properly hold the gun and shoot it. When he held the pistol to his head, he uttered the words, “That’s not how it’s done.” According to witnesses, he then pulled the trigger three times and, on the third pull, the gun went off and killed him instantly.
