Eagan Police were called shortly before 6:30 p.m, and collected Shaver’s firearm and ammunition, but made no arrest and pursued no criminal charges.

Surprising no one. If it had been just a member of the public, I'm sure the same would have happened, right?

Honestly kinda surprised they took the gun tbh

That is actually funny.

They would have been charged with a felony of discharging a firearm with other people in the building.

Even for an accidental discharge?
