Almost guaranteed, you has a squib load...
In case you don't know.. That's a round that is under powdered.. It's enough to go bang (sort of), but only sends the round part way down the barrel..
This does not blow up the gun.. Not hearing the difference in that round, or noting the difference in recoil, and shooting the next round, that is what blows up the gun...
Many don't know about squib rounds, so when it happens, they just keep going, instead of stopping and saying to themselves (and range master if necessary)... That was not right.. Let me fully inspect my weapon before continuing..
IF your wife was NOT hurt, you are VERY lucky.. This type of mishap can cause some serious hand damage..
See the below pictures..
