Remember that there are a lot of circumstances that could makenit ‘unavoidable’ or shift part of the blame to the victim. A misfire and ricochet would still be called a shooting. If she was somewhere down range and a bullet missed a backstop to hit her it would still be a shooting. Maybe a child was shooting the gun in either scenario.
There are plenty of situations where a grand jury would see something as an ‘unavoidable accident’ or not want to punish whoever had control of the weapon.
Until we know more, there is always the possibility the grand jury doesn’t want to follow through based on some misguided emotional criteria instead of holding someone accountable for negligence.
That’s remotely possible, and I would be inclined to agree if the circumstances around this weren’t so fishy to begin with.
E.g. why is the police report heavily redacted? Why has the suspect not been named? This is highly unusual, and suggests there’s something more going on. I’d doubt very highly the grand jury were given the full picture.
It’s pretty much a done deal that we’ll never know more. Someone is making an effort to bury this.
