John Glover Warden, a 59-year-old pastor of New Hope Baptist Church in Jarrell, Texas, died on June 28, 2014, after being shot outside the Austin Premier Gun Show at the Cedar Park Center. Warden and his son-in-law, Jared Charles Priddy, had taken a semi-automatic handgun to the show; the gun was inspected there and tagged as unloaded. After leaving the show, Priddy reloaded the firearm and it accidentally discharged, fatally striking Warden.

Warden was taken to St. David’s Round Rock Hospital and pronounced dead. The Cedar Park Police Department investigated and concluded the shooting was accidental; Priddy was not charged. The police noted that the outcome could have been prevented by proper gun handling. Warden’s family and church mourned his loss, and his daughter Marissa Priddy spoke about her gratitude for time with her father.
