That’s normally what the charge of “manslaughter” is supposed to be used for in the courts. Murder would be with intent, manslaughter is any other act with deadly consequence.
If it truly weren’t intentional (which it probably was, a Glock doesn’t just “go off” for no reason, as I understand), it would still be considered “manslaughter” here. He should’ve been indicted. This is insanity.
It’s impossible for this to be unintentional, or it’s so negligent that there’s no difference. Guns do not just go off, and Glocks require an intentional trigger pull.
I get that it was not intentional… but it’s still homicide (I guess; in Spain it’s that way if it was an accident).

Why that didn’t happen in this case is beyond me.
There’s a whole list of charges below murder. Even “criminal negligence” FFS. That he wasn’t charged with something is ridiculous.
