While I can’t claim to know anything more about this specific accident, the basic rules of gun safety prevent accidents like this. These rules are incredibly simple:

  1. All guns are always loaded. Period.
  2. Never point a gun at anything you are not willing to destroy.
  3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target (and you have made the decision to shoot).
  4. Be sure of your target, what’s beyond it, and what’s in front of it.

When people are accidentally shot, 99 times out of a hundred, it’s because one or more of these rules weren’t followed. So what happened here that someone managed to shoot their neighbor? It would definitely behoove them to learn a lesson from this. Otherwise, the next accident may end up being fatal.
