Strube was shopping Sunday afternoon with his .45-caliber gun in his pocket, when a bottle he was carrying bumped into the gun and caused it to fire one round, police said.

They later found a .45-caliber bullet inside a can of beans.

Employees and customers said they heard a gunshot and smelled gun powder.
