Boy Killed When Falling Shotgun Fires

I don't mean to diminish or enlarge the tragedy, but I'm afraid something doesn't meet the sniff test here.
Authorities believe the shotgun was standing in a corner when it somehow fell and went off.
Anyone familiar with a shotgun that goes off without someone pulling the trigger? The story doesn't say what sort of shotgun it is, so could a slam-fire have happened, or what?
