I rate it - at kinimum - as physical assault, even negligent manslaughter. Since they do it not accidentally, but intentionally, one can even argue that it even is mass murder. They know what they are doing, its not as if they act out of lacking knowledge. They know what they are doing, the intent to accept the outcome as side effect, is a given. When you do something of which you know it harms and kills people, in German law that is not slaughter, but murder. I am confident that in American law it is not much different. If you accept the killing of others as a sideeffect of your own desinterested acting, then you know of it, this then weighs the same as intentional killing with the death of the other being your desired and planned end result, and then it is murder.
For example the street car racers in Berlin killing innocents during their street races when they ended in crashes, recently were sentenced not for slaughter - but murder.
