HENRICO COUNTY, Va. β€” A man has been charged after a gun accidentally discharged during a youth soccer game at Holman Middle School in Henrico County in September.

Henrico Police have charged 59-year-old Alexandria man Richard J. Fiesel with one count of reckless handling of a firearm.

As CBS 6 previously reported, Crime Insider sources said the firearm belonged to a retired federal law enforcement officer. When asked if Fiesel is a retired federal agent, a spokesperson for Henrico Police said they are not able to provide that information.

Officers said the firearm fell out of a spectator's bag and accidentally discharged during the Shady Grove YMCA soccer games. No injuries or property damage was reported.
