That's what the killer claims happened. Gun was a 40 caliber automatic. I can see ONE accidental firing but not 3!! Jurors wanted to examine the gun and dry-fire it but the corrupt judge said no.
Shooting of Kathryn Steinle - Wikipedia
On July 1, 2015, 29-year-old Kathryn Steinle, while walking with her father and a friend along Pier 14 in the Embarcadero district of San Francisco, was shot by Jose Inez Garcia Zarate. He initially claimed that he fired at a sea lion, then that he fired the shots accidentally while picking up the gun which he claimed he had found moments before, wrapped in cloth beneath the bench on which he was sitting. Zarate fired 3 shots, one of which ricocheted off the concrete deck of the pier striking the victim in the back. Steinle died two hours later in the hospital as a result of her injuries.
Garcia Zarate told ABC station KGO-TV in a jailhouse interview that he started wandering on Pier 14, a tourist attraction area at the Embarcadero waterfront district, Wednesday, July 1, after taking sleeping pills he found in a dumpster. He said he then picked up a gun that he found.[1] Garcia Zarate fired three shots from a .40-caliber SIG Sauer P239 handgun with a seven-cartridge magazine.[2][3] One bullet struck Steinle in the back and pierced her aorta. She collapsed to the pavement while screaming to her father, who was accompanying her at the pier, for help.[
