I was at the Tanner gun show in Denver today. Had been there for a couple of hours, my buddy and I are going to check out one last thing (he wanted a backpack) before leaving. We're towards the back of the hall when we hear a "BLAM" and everybody gets real quiet.

We were pretty sure it was a gunshot, but nobody runs for the exits or anything and it was on the opposite side of the hall so after a moment we go on our way. My buddy buys his backpack and about 10 minutes after the gunshot we are walking towards the exit.

Get close to the exit, and there's a sheriff putting up a police line, a puddle of blood on the floor, and a bunch of EMTs working on a guy laying on the ground. Turns out a guy shot himself. I heard 2 conflicting stories from "witnesses" to the event.

1. He went up to the first gun table on the way in, picked up a firearm just to look at it, and it went off. Shooting himself in the upper chest/shoulder.
2. He was at the gun check table, pulling his firearm out of his shoulder holster to show the security guard, and shot himself as he was drawing.

I think option 2 sounds more likely.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, this was the best I could do at the time.
