Now what I'd like to know is out of those 6 rounds how many were "live". You would have to be ignorant to load 6 rounds into a revolver and not realize they were "live".

Note my addition in bold.
My point has to do with the chain of custody of the weapon. If the weapon had been used for “plinking” the previous night and had not been cleaned and inspected by the armorer prior to its use the next day then it is completely plausible the weapon still had live rounds in it from the recreational use.
Did the armorer clean and render the weapon safe, only to have someone to remove it, shot live rounds then replace it without cleaning an clearing it?
Hopefully the investigation has these answers.
