Polk County authorities say it appears a burglar died when a rifle he'd just stolen was jostled and fired during a ride down a bumpy farm road.

Detective John Williams says investigators found a shotgun and the rifle Sunday morning, side by side on the passenger-side floorboard of a stolen farm truck, barrels pointed at the driver.

Williams says it appears that a lever on the shotgun got into the trigger guard of the rifle and fired it.

The weapons were among other goods taken from a nearby house on the farmland near Independence.

Williams says detectives found no indication anybody else had been in the truck, whose engine had been running for hours.

The man was identified as 19-year-old Genaro Hernandez Mendoza.

now that the AK has killed and the shotgun was an accessory will the owner get his firearms back or like other crime guns will they be evidence and confiscated?
 
Just another hard working "immigrant" looking to better his life, that rifle had no right... I bet the home owner had the AUDACITY to lock his house and put the immigrant at further risk of injuring himself to gain entry... flippin' anti-immigrant racist!
