While tehcnically the shooter has the causal resonisbility of having fired the shot, morally he is not to be held accountable, and I hope he is sober and rational enogh to relaise that and prioritize this fact. This fact should sooth his mind tremendously, since it was no accident or mishap where he could accuse himseolf over somehting like "I should have takne better care, then itn would not have happened." This does not apply. He must have thiught to be under attack, he diod what at best knowedge he st assume to be what he had to do, and he is not responisble for triggerin g this prank.

I in his place would have no feeling of guilt.

Maybe that prank was a stupid and tasteless idea in the first, and the author paid a price for his stupidity? Not that I say he deserved death, but he pushed the trigger button of the events, and for a stupid motive. Tragic, yes, but then: also stupid.

Its like some fool running around and making a joke of telling people that there is a fire or a bomb. If he one day really needs help due to a fire or a bomb warning, nobody will believe him. Some things you simply just do not do.
