    Indeed. Which rule was broken though? Did he not identify the target? Or was it an Accidental discharge with the firearm not in a safe direction? Was he loaded and ready to fire or was he carrying a loaded firearm? Whichever it was does not matter. The result of not following the 7 simple basic rules meant his mate is now fighting for his life. As @GMH72 said; Be safe and identify your target.
