    Virk reportedly told police that he handed Singh a handgun that Virk believed he had emptied. Singh then pulled the trigger twice while pointing it at Virk,the police said.
     
    "The suspect then took the gun and pointed it at (Singh) and pulled the trigger one time and the gun did not fire. The suspect then pulled the trigger a second time and the gun fired, striking the complainant in the left temple," a detective wrote in the arrest affidavit for Virk.
     
    Virk rushed Singh to a local hospital, where Singh succumbed to his injury. 
     
    Hospital personnel recovered the handgun used to shoot Singh from Virk's car and turned it over to police.
