Let’s review basic firearms safety. This sniper violated 2 of the 4 rules of gun safety (read linked article for details).

1. Keep your finger off the trigger until you have made the decision to fire.
2. Positively identify your target, and what lies beyond.

The other 2 rules are:

3. Don’t point your muzzle at anything you do not intend to destroy
4. Every gun is loaded unless you personally verify otherwise.

And 1903 is when record keeping started. What, you did not hear this on CNN? How could that be?

Details can be seen in this article.

When I was taking the class for my NRA range safety officer training, they told us that someone on a shooting range was 130 times more likely to be injured by choking on food that by gunfire. Don’t have a link for this, sorry.
