mistakenly or on purpose in their bag, they don t know yet. and it was taken out. they saw the gun. when they opened the person s bag, which happened to me just a couple weeks ago, not that i had a gun, but they saw something in the bag, they take it over to the table and unzip the bag and try to resolve what is in your bag. apparently, when they resolved what was in his bag, it was a gun. the passenger reached for the gun and it accidentally discharged. okay, i know that you had some audio issues with alex a little bit earlier and it seems like those audio issues are still persisting so control room, if we could work on that, i would appreciate it because i think jay as a lot of good information that we need to deduce from what took place but i m going to try to walk folks through this and i want you to correct me if i m wrong from what i just heard. there was a passenger, an individual going through a checkpoint. his bag was subsequently to be searched. he sat down, this passenger,
