Investigation Summary
On March 19, 1992, after the close of business, Employee #1, the plant manager, was waiting for a late customer. The company assembles gun magazines and launchers for the AR-15 rifle, and no longer manufactures firearms. Employee #1, who had gunsmithing experience, decided to tinker with part of a firearm that had been left in a storeroom. He may have been removing a bullet stuck in the chamber when the weapon fired. Employee #1 was struck in the chest by a 45 caliber bullet and killed.
