it was an accident, the kid didn't shoot the girl, the gun was in his backpack. The story says he "slammed" his back down and the gun fired. Hk 45. Are those prone to drop-fires? Of course, the dad says the gun wasn't his, the kid says it was his dads. 50K bail for a 9 year old. Lots going wrong in this story from start to finish.

Are those prone to drop-fires?

No. But depending on which one of the 543 different trigger variants HK offers for their pistols, it could have well been cocked and not locked; this of course would not play well unholstered in a backpack.

Update:

Warrant issued for mom in Wash. school shooting

"On the day the boy brought the gun to school, Fisher said detectives visited Passmore's residence and saw she had a 9mm pistol "sitting on a desk to the right of a computer" and a loaded 12-gauge shotgun "leaning against the wall next to the nightstand."
