Hi Mike,
It is indeed rare for a weapon to be discharged in this apparent manner but sadly attacks on officers, senior NCO's etc does happen. I have witnessed a leading cook attacking the first lieutenant of minesweeper with a carving knife. There were not any serious injuries, and no publicity. There was no way this latest incident could be hidden from the media.
Regarding your second point:
The Duchess of Cornwall launched this vessel...
