Your title sends the wrong message. It was an accidental shooting, not intentional.

Nope, pretty accurate. Accident or not, one person fatally shot another.

How do you accidentally discharge a weapon that fatally kills another person? Wonder how this will all be covered up in the buckets full of lies that go on in our military world!
