Is that one of those new ring necked improved 9mm. Just kidding. I would like to know the story on that casing. They were lucky it didnt destroy their gun and injure the shooter. Yeah that is a new one for me.

I've never seen one like that. I wonder if that was a lightly loaded 9mm that was fired in a .380 blowback chamber? You would think the disconnector would keep it from firing but some blowbacks I have had will allow the hammer to fall almost a 1/4 of an inch from battery.
Did a test fit, that's exactly what the fit looks like.
I think it was an OOB in a .380 chamber.
Ok, everyone who says it was a 9mm touched off in a .380 is promoted to Detective First Grade. 
I figured it was that or a thyroid problem.

9x18 or 9x17 in a 9x19? or vice versa?
9 x 19 in a 9 x 17 chamber. It headspaces on the case mouth, leaving the ass end hanging out the back unsupported. It shouldn't fire out of battery, but either something malfunctioned or it was a crap design to begin with.
Could have been a 9 in a 40, don’t think a 380 will chamber a 9 round but I’ve heard of accidents with 9 in 40. If no one yelled ouch you’ll never know.
It definitely is not a 9 in a 40 as they always bulge in the front. I have done it a few times. 
9 in a 357 sig?
As I posted earlier, a 9 will chamber into a .380, but only goes in as far as the bulge on the case in the picture.
I’ll take your word- prefer not to try that, and good reminder to always be aware of your neighboring shooters at the range.

no error code for stupid
Would a 9x23 do that in a 9x19 chamber? I don't know if 9x23 is found in the U.S.

Yes , 9x23 is/ was a thing , but not common outside of IPSC circles .
That along with the 9x25 Dillon. You don't hear too much about either anymore.

I had some .40 mixed into my bag of .45, and got the same thing you mention.
Bulged out at the mouth, but only over part of the circumference.

9x21 and 9x23 are used in USPSA.
