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".
As I posted, a report says that it was in his pocket.
