How did it go off exactly? Guns don't shoot themselves.

I asked the same question. Details are sketchy, and the police did not release much info about the incident. Apparently, the person who died was a father of four children, the oldest was 9, and the kids were in the car at the time their father was fatally wounded. He was taking the kids fishing at the time of the accident. The father was the owner of a handgun, and hand a concealed carry permit. The article does not state if the father had his weapon in the car, or if the shot fired was from his gun. The author of this piece told me that the neighbors say the guy was killed by his own weapon. Not sure how they would know unless they were on the scene. No details on how the gun went off, other than it was an accident. In my mind, it doesn't add up. People with a CCL are trained. They lived in a rural area. He should have known better than to be carrying a loaded weapon in a car with small children - assuming that is what happened.
