Yes, he was absolutely negligent. He wasn't following gun safety rules, which would have avoided most of this. At the very least if he followed proper procedure there would have been some.sort of.protection for the direction he was firing in.
Why why was he firing the gun? Were they shooting at the time, or rehearsing? Did he check the gun? Was he handling correctly at all times? Trigger discipline?
Not to mention that he's a producer on the film, which will make him part of the eventual wrongful death suit anyway.
Stop talking out of your ass about things you know nothing about.
Always keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
Always keep the gun unloaded until you are ready to use it.
Never point the gun at anything you don't intend to destroy.
Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.
Learn the mechanical and handling characteristics of the gun you are using.
Always use proper Ammunition.
Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before loading and shooting.
If your gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, hold your shooting position for several seconds; then with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, carefully unload the gun.
Don't rely on the gun's safety to keep it from firing.
Be aware of your surroundings when handling guns so you don't trip or lose your balance and accidentally point and/or fire the gun at anyone or anything.
