You can get charged with "accidentally" killing someone -- Manslaughter. But you can't get charged for "accidently" hurting someone?

They tried to charge him, but fortunately a grand jury wouldn't go along.

Personally, I don't believe people should be prosecuted for innocent mistakes made in good faith. Nor should they be prosecuted for defending their lives.

Legally, there ARE exceptions in the law for accidentally hurting someone under exigent circumstances or when you are acting as a good samaritarian, or when your actions are to prevent a greater evil from occuring. Clearly, all 3 were factors in this case.

Using your logic, the families of the passive passengers on flight 93 should be able to sue the estates of the active passengers on flight 93 since the former died after the latter took action.

I agree. Logan was still armed even though he didn't shoot back at Beck. Denmark would have had an armed robber in her vehicle if Beck hadn't shot him.

It was a question, nothing to do with my logic.
