The gun fell and went off? Really, that's the one they're going with? A little kid is dead, and that's what they're going with? Please, someone who is an expert, tell me when the last handgun that wasn't drop-safe under most conditions (to include a fall from the height of a bed) was offered for general sale in the USA. I know it's been a long time now. Sure, there are some old handguns that can be made to go (accidentally) off if they have a round in the chamber and are cocked, and odds do exist that the dad in that story might have had one...but IMHO, those are some slim odds. Again, a child is dead and that worn-out statement "fell and went off" doesn't help anyone, unless something foul was done.
It's entirely possible the gun fell, guy grabbed for it. It's pretty instinctual, and this is why most of the gun classes I've been to tell people not to grab at them. Just let them hit the ground, and then pick it up. Similar to trying to grab a falling knife.
