The only people that should press charges are the girl with a hole in her leg and the person with a hole in their apartment.

I know accidents happen, but that was no accident. EVERY time I pick up a gun to clean it, look at it, show it to someone, whatever, I check to make sure it's unloaded. It's a reflex to me. Pick up a gun, treat it as if it's loaded until I check and make sure.

I believe they were living together. and I am willing to bet the bullet was lodged in her leg. but yes, I agree.

Again, I agree, thats why I said dumbass.

Dumbass yes, but unintentional accidents do happen. It doesn't mean the popo needs to butt in and press charges if the woman (presumably his girlfriend/wife) doesn't want to.

What if he really shot her, but she "knows he loves her and doesn't want him to get in trouble"

would he have shot her with his hand in the way?

Her problem and the cops should still butt out. She makes her choice and she lives with it.

Outstanding cover story and a small price to pay, but he's still a dumbass for only hitting her in the leg if that the case.
