I fail to see how that is any less criminally negligent than someone having a ND that ricocheted off a wall??

For example:

-NYPD officer Peter Liang was convicted of manslaughter in 2016 for a 2014 ND that ricocheted off a wall and killed Akai Gurley inside a NYC apartment building. The conviction was later downgraded to criminally negligent homicide.

Bottom line. If someone is negligently dicking around with a gun and kills someone, no matter what flight path the bullet takes, they should be held liable.
