My error. Since the woman was not killed, but only injured, there was no homicide. Reckless Endangerment sounds like the appropriate charge.

I hope the woman recovers fully from her leg wound. Were I her husband, the weapon involved would never fire again, and it would be unlikely that the boys would feel like doing target practice for a long, long time. You wouldn't shoot my wife, accidentally or intentionally, without paying a steep price.

Maybe, maybe not. Most likely the woman was hit by a ricochet.

You could blame the tractor for placing them in the line of fire. I wonder how long it would take to cut up a tractor? I think they have those crushers at junkyards that could do it. Maybe they could raffle a chance to hit it with a sledgehammer.

Unfortunately, these things are always left up for the courts to decide...

So you'd go beat up a couple of kids for accidentally shooting your wife? Heh. They'd do more to you than they will the kids.
