An accident is when a kid mishandles a loaded weapon, or somehow a gun is dropped and it fires and the bullet strikes someone. Baldwin pointed the weapon at someone and pulled the trigger. By his negligence, it happened to be loaded with a live round when he did so. The first rule in firearm safety is not to point the weapon at anyone even if you believe it to be unloaded.
...And I don't even own any guns.
Negligence is the reason this woman is dead, she didn't get struck by a stray bullet.
