Not only did Corey Mead-Wells inadvertently chamber a live round into his rifle, he accidentally pulled the trigger too. The accidental discharge of a hunting rifle in a Brightwater neighbourhood had the potential to cause “significant danger to property”. The incident happened on the afternoon of May 29 at Mead-Wells’ property at Ernest Place in Brightwater. While Mead-Wells was standing in the driveway of the property and leaning into his vehicle, he pulled the trigger on the rifle. The rifle fired and shot a round through the vehicle door, fragmenting after going through a nearby metal fence.
