Adams County authorities today released the names of the men involved in an apparently accidental shooting at the Tanner Gun Show at the Denver Merchandise Mart Saturday.

Joshua Hertzler, 24, of Thornton was examining a pistol at the table of vendor James Peterschmidt, 68, of Aurora when gun went off and struck 22-year-old Grant Edmunds of Laramie, Wyo.

Adams County Sheriff's spokeswoman Candi Baker said the shooting remains under investigation and the facts will be presented to the District Attorney's office to determine charges, if any.

Edmunds remained in Denver Health Medical Center Tuesday listed in good condition. A witness told 9News on Saturday that he was shot in the shoulder.

Baker previously said there were numerous witnesses nearby when the gun went off.

The show's rules for vendors repeat several times that loaded gun and loose ammunition is prohibited. Security personnel disable most guns, looping zip ties through gun chambers.

The Tanner Gun Show previously was scrutinized in 1999 when three guns bought there were used by Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris in the Columbine High School shooting.

In March 2008 a 64-year-old Littleton man accidentally shot himself in the stomach with .38-caliber handgun in the mart's parking lot.
