All guns are always loaded.
Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

—Jeff Cooper[1]

After that sterling effort at reporting and commentary, I'm sure you will follow the story and let us know if the shooter will face charges. My money's on jail.
