Wouldn?t this be fratricide ? Or negligent discharge resulting in death ?

I agree. I posted on a previous "inadvertent" gunfire death that I don't really like to do follow up posts on these and it would be negligent, in my opinion. To me inadvertent means something different and accidental means something different (usually mechanical malfunction), so I am sure we are on the same page. I posted what ODMP called it.

From the lack of detail provided, he either got shot by a boss or himself.
