Oh sh__, my gun went off
You do not point a gun at something you do not want to kill.
Pointing a gun is a deliberate action which requires intent.
This was attempted murder.

The fact that they'll probably still get to own firearms is what gets me. God this country, where you shoot a KID and they still think you're allowed a gun. Fuck that. You SHOT SOMEONE. Mistake or not that's on you
100%. I imagine this dude was just begging for a moment like this to shoot someone. Very reminiscent of the young girl that was murdered by the upstate NY homeowner when they turned on to the wrong driveway. This is so awful. I hope that young boy and his friend are okay, and I hope the shooter catches prison time.
The article's pretty graphic, and yikes, I hope they go for attempted murder. The shooter fired THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD at kids just sitting in their car and offering no threat. Further, the injuries to the kid's face were pretty substantial.
