All by itself, I am sure. Not that they're trying to absolve him of the blame or anything.
Weekley’s gun fired, and a bullet struck Aiyana in the head. The shooting has stirred tension in Detroit, heightening ongoing concerns about police brutality and use of excessive force.
Indeed. It occurs to me that in all of the use cases that involve a "gun firing", all of them require either intent or negligence.
