    Only one agent shot him.

    The debate is whether the first shot was the gun they took off him misfiring.

      Not misfiring, a misfire is a malfunction of the weapon or ammo. This would be the ICE agent incompetently discharging the weapon while disarming him.

        “Negligent discharge” is the legal term im pretty sure.

        Implying the person who did it doesn’t know how to properly handle a firearm.
