[Travis McGee]

If he intended to stop the passenger in the vehicle then why at almost contact distance did he miss a vital area with a Rifle????? In short why was the subject not killed outright with an 5.56 X 45mm round through the brain.

Possible partial answer to that question: the sights of the M4 are several inches above the bore. At very close CQB range, one must account for this.

The agent may have been aiming "just over" the victims head when he/she had her ? negligent ? discharge.

Again, poor agent screening and training could be to blame.

Is a negligent discharge sort of homicidus interuptus?

Like you said poor training and screening. He should have been adjusting at that close a range or beenfar enough back that he still would have hit.

It is still a class A bad shoot.
