Gun fires self?

A shooter at a range in Lakeland FL set down his Jennings 9mm and it began to fire itself hitting the shooter, his wife, and a bystander. Interesting. I'm curious as to what the police investigation will reveal. Possibilities include defect in manufacture, improper or inadequate maintenance, or modification by owner at some point in the weapon's history. Beyond that I reserve comment. If someone else has an idea, share.

Update: So apparently it comes down to Jennings = piece of shit.

Who knew you could fire a Jennings-anything long enough for it to cook off a round on its own??

First problem is the word Jennings.

Had one of their .25s that was so bad, I crushed it in a vice rather than resale or trade it in.
