A best-selling handgun widely available in the US has injured more than 80 people since 2016 because of a technical fault that can cause it to fire without the trigger being pulled, a new investigation has alleged.
Police officers are among those to have reported injuries they say were caused by the alleged defect in the SIG Sauer P320 pistol, although more than 100 said they had experienced an accidental firing involving the same weapon, according to an eight-month probe carried out by The Washington Post and The Trace.
