He should have been hanged and shot dead.

How stupid we should be to buy this story, or was he a mental.

This is plainly unbelivable, a STF person not knowing to handle his weapon and being able to shoot himself by mistake? at least its believable if they said that someone else got shot mistakenly when the machine gun/pistol went off or he shot himself in the foot, and how come the safety was not on??? Sad what happned to him, but the STF saying such things is ridiculous.
