Cali says the man was showing guns to a woman he'd met earlier at a bar and put a pistol he believed was unloaded to his head. Cali says he then pulled the trigger.
1.  Don't mix alcohol and guns.  Bad things will happen.

2.  No matter how drunk you get, you should not be playing Russian Roulette by yourself and certainly not with a semi-automatic pistol.

Being stupid should hurt.

there's a Commodore in charge of the Naval Special Warfare group?   or did that article get it wrong?  thought that the rank of commodore was retired and replaced with Admiral lower half.

In current usage, a Commodore in the USN is a title for some Captains (O-6) who have command over a group of vessels or squadrons.
