Suggest you do a better job of screening the people you select as guards. Guarding embassy's is suppose to be an important job.

Similar incident in January 2012 at US consulate, Karachi was reported in Dawn. May be suicide or conspiracies ? The truth never came out.
KARACHI, Jan 9: A policeman posted at the US consulate general died when his colleague's rifle went off on Monday, police said.
They said that Assistant Sub-Inspector Anwar Sheikh, 40, was performing his duty at Picket No 7 when Police Constable Muhammad Basheer asked him to keep his official rifle for a while because he needed to go to the toilet.
