Combs was unloading her gun in the Capitol annex office when it went off. The bullet hit the floor and ricocheted toward a bookshelf, according to WHAS11.

Rep. Jeff Greer (D) was in the room at the time, but Combs said she was following safety procedure and that nobody was in harm's way, WHAS11 reported. Nobody was injured.

"I thought it was totally clear," Combs told WHAS11 Wednesday. "I am a gun owner. It happens."

Guns are pointless unless they go off around humans.

It happens.
