Does everyone who takes the shot murder the child? No.

Silly argument.

Did the get-away driver for the bank robber who killed a guard, kill the guard? NO!

“Did the get-away driver for the bank robber who killed a guard, kill the guard? NO!”

And not a silly argument, because in order for the robbers to get away they needed an accomplice. That accomplice is directly assisting them.

But if say a person accepted a stolen $20 from the bank as legal tender in an exchange of goods in a shop, would that person also be liable for profiting from money that was stolen?

You need to recognize that there is a distinction between direct and indirect, remote and proximate.
