5 rounds cooked off when pistol left in oven in Virginia home

[HFS]

Firefighters say they got a call that the oven in a home exploded.
They found a pistol was melted to the oven grate.
Pistol had been forgotten and the oven turned on.

“It turns out, someone turned the oven on with the gun inside, the weapon heated up, and five rounds went off,” Chesterfield Fire and EMS wrote.
Luckily, no one was hurt, but Chesterfield County Fire and EMS shared that the “situation could have turned out much differently.”

Handgun forgotten inside oven fires off multiple rounds in Virginia home after overheating

A photo of the charred handgun melted into the steel grates inside the over shows that the barrel was pointed either toward the oven’s glass door or its back.

Slow news day I guess.

To me, looks like plastic grip panel melted.

Rounds cooked off? Sounds like BS, maybe not, but sure sounds like it.

They don't know muzzle direction?
Door glass in floor or oven? Bullet hole in back wall?

Slow news day and idiotic investigation.

Gun violence strikes again. That evil gun murdered that oven in cold blood. How much longer will this be considered normal? We need common sense gun laws! Save the children…

You can look at the oven rack and tell which way the muzzle is pointed if you ever use a oven which i imagine the person that wrote that never does.

Cold blood? It was on and assaulted that good pistol. He was such a good gun, took care of his momma and now, is scared for life.
