The gun flew out of the officer’s hand as it was pulled by the MRI machine’s “magnetic force” and got stuck on the equipment, according to the complaint.

E: Oh god, I have many more questions.

[One LAPD officer] looked at the sign, opened the office’s door and went inside with his weapon, [...] The gun flew out of the officer’s hand as it was pulled by the MRI machine’s “magnetic force” and got stuck on the equipment [...] Instead of consulting with medical staff, another LAPD officer broke the seal of an emergency button and pressed it, deactivating the MRI machine [...]. The MRI machine’s magnet quickly lost “superconductivity,” and about 2,000 liters of helium gas evaporated, damaging the machine, [...] The officer who had the rifle retrieved his weapon, walked out of the room and left behind a loaded magazine on the floor, the complaint says.
