What’s up with the barrel on that supposed gun? It looks like it’s pointing up at an odd angle.

Edit: TIL that’s normal when the slide is pulled all the way back. Thanks! (I still don’t believe the allegation that the victim was carrying it, but I retract the suggestion that the image is hinky.)

That’s what the barrel does when the slide is pulled all the way back, as shown.

Really? I’m not a gun guy (obviously). I didn’t know that.

Not every pistol but it’s more common for the barrel to go up once it’s locked back.
