A 46-year-old Kasilof man was killed Tuesday morning when his gun accidentally fired, according to Alaska State Troopers.
Royce Gardner was working on a vehicle when his revolver fell out of his waistband, hit the vehicle and discharged, troopers said.
Troopers, the Alaska Bureau of Investigation and Central Emergency Services -- who pronounced Gardner dead -- all responded to the scene.
Gardner's body will be sent to the State Medical Examiner's Officer for an autopsy.
