A Glock has 3 internal, automatic safeties and no manual safety switch like a conventional gun.

Drop Safety, Firing Pin Safety, Trigger Safety.

All three are disabled automatically by pressing the trigger. It is a very safe design. The only way a Glock is going to shoot is if you pull the trigger.

If he really was carrying a Glock, my guess is that it was in a shitty holster, or no holster at all. He fidgeted with it, and something pulled the trigger. They don't "just go off".
