It was not an accident like it could not have been forseen or prevented. The gun didnt accidentally malfunction.
It was operator error. The operator was negligent. It is difficult to say this because its his son and he had no intent to do it, but negligence is negligence. You put the weapon down and deal with the problem. This is range 101 facts.

Not all people think coherently when in pain. Just a fact of life.
