While "unslinging a shoulder bag, the bag caught on the agent's holstered weapon," a police report states. "While the weapon was falling, the agent tried to catch the firearm and inadvertently pulled the trigger. A bullet hit the agent in the heel." The agent was hospitalized. Police say no charges are expected and there was no disruption to airport operations, WKMG reports.
