Instructor shoots AI

They're not accidental discharge, they are always NEGLIGENT DISCHARGE....

This. No such thing as an AD unless there's some sort of catastrophic and previously undocumented weapon failure. Otherwise everything is a an ND involving a human hand. Stop sugar coating shit.

Agreed. When I wrote AD I wasn't meaning to remove the blame from the shooter. He was negligent 100%.

One would think that there would be a protocol in place to ensure the shoot house was clear of friendlies before any live fire exercise began. Were they ignored or circumvented?

Everyone should have been accounted for outside the place each time before someone entered with a loaded weapon. Since this is training the place should have been called out "Hot" before they moved in.

Almost sounds like there were two groups and one did not know what the other was doing.
