And the name is ?
Officers secured the firearm and, upon further investigation, found that the handgun had seven loaded rounds inside the chamber, including one round which was ready to fire.
This is all wrong. You should’ve said the firearm had 7 rounds in the magazine with one other round chambered. The way you’re written this makes it sound like the firearm had 7 barrels and a 1 round mag.
