How in the hell does this happen? A sane adult should never be accidentally shooting and killing themself!

[The Salt Lake Tribune will continue updating this developing story.]

The University of Utah has confirmed that freshman running back Ty Jordan has died, although details remain scarce.

A media spokesman for the Denton (Texas) Police Department told The Salt Lake Tribune on Saturday morning that the original call went out Friday night at 9:38 p.m. CST. Officers responded to the 1100 block of Avenue B in Denton. Upon arrival, they found a single gunshot victim, who was transported to a hospital.

After a preliminary investigation, it is believed the gun was accidentally discharged. The victim was later pronounced deceased at the hospital.
