Sorry, but, when you squeeze the trigger, you are responsible for where that projectile goes. Period. Would society be better off with him in jail? I wouldn't think so but he certainly is financially responsible for her injuries.

If I go speeding down an icy road at 80 miles an hour (a summary offense, not even a misdemeanor) and plow into a school bus full of kids, I may not be a criminal but I would be responsible.

If, as said here, he shot at something on the skyline, that is completely reckless. Even a box of 22 shells says danger, range 1 mile!

The liberal press will certainly make hay out of the story but any hunter stupid enough to publicly berate the girl who got shot is helping fan the anti-gun/anti-hunter flames.
Last I knew 80 mph was breaking the speed limit so you should be responsible!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The guy your talking about here? BT before you speak to loud you know It could be you next time. Shooting at a skyline happens every day. But in your case it could be a ricochet target
shooting at the club.
I'm not saying he's not responsible just asking you to think about it.
