They said when Diamond arrived, he was concerned about what he was hearing so he made forced entry into the home. At that time, his gun discharged and struck a couch.
No one was hurt.

Police said they had been called to the same home back in May but no charges were issues then.
The investigation remained ongoing.
Police said accidental discharges are evaluated on a case-by-case basis when no one gets hurt. As a result, Diamond wouldn't immediately be placed on administrative duty.
