Does the trigger have to be pulled in order for this scenario to occur?

They all are capable of a AD if the bolt roller slips out of the feed track, I agree with TS on the jam therory.
this sounds to me what happened, someone dident fully clear or do a function check after a jam they just cleared the links with a open feedtray then cracked the bolt alittle to check the boltface and dident clear the round out of the chamber.
Then closed the feed tray cover with the bolt not alinged with the feed track.
SAFTY dident clear the weapons for display,thats a NO NO, student's not knowing how far the bolt should charge to the rear to engadge the sear, rejamed the weapon, bolt to the rear hung on the feed tray, some other student opens feedtray cover...
BOOM...
