He is partly responsible, yes.
That's kind of like saying a guy who was pulled over for speeding is responsible when the dipshit cop does not pull over far enough, and gets clipped by another motorist, killing said motorist.

They may not have known he killed someone or was a fugitive. Probably didn't come home and tell grandma he killed someone earlier.

That does not excuse the police officers though.

It appears they were separate apartments. So, he wasn't "there."

Actually, he is not responsible whatsoever.

I think they mean negligently fired his gun.
Never heard of an accidental discharge.

Absolutely. There is absolutely no accountability for the police in this country. How many more innocent children need to get killed before something happens?

Does the guy who committed the murder have no responsibility ?
No, it is 100% on the shitty cop who couldn't handle his weapon.
A raid on a house with a 7 y.o.? Are you kidding me?
Why can't they go with a regular search warrant? What is all this SWAT shite and is it causing more confrontation than usual methods because of the tactics?

They are dealing with a murder suspect, not exactly a routine warrant

They were on the TeeVee. Gots to look good on the TeeVee.

What I'm trying to say is he obviously didn't intend to kill the kid. It was a tragic accident and the grandma may have swatted the weapon. She claims she didn't ,but I have a hard time finding her credible considering the murderer in her family.

So, you get in a wreck due to negligence and some is killed due to a cop losing control of his car responding. You are responsible for that persons death?

What is being ignored here is the man was suspected of committing a crime at the time of the incident not an escaped dangerous felon. These dipshits wanted to impress the camera crew and this is the result.
Serious question... Do you consider this murder
Neither, this is 100% not an accident and is a result of fricking dimwits w anting to play army. Seems to fit the statute for involuntary manslaughter in to a t, although I am not an lawyer.
How about instead of throwing flashbangs and stormtroopers into a family home they just wait a pick up the suspect when he walks outside or call and tell him to come out. You would still have the option to play GI Joe if that did not work. What you would not have is maimed toddlers from flasbangs being thrown into their cribs and dead children.
Home invasions should be saved for the most extreme circumstances and not be carried out by obviously incompetent individuals as these in this story. Claiming he did not know he fired an MP5 is a joke.

I don't believe people understand how often this happens.
I've been told it is ridiculous to expect police to have conducted surveillance on a property before acquiring a no-knock, smash-and-grab warrant. Collateral consequence keep you safe -- think big picture.

So all murder warrants are served by SWAT teams? How did they serve them before teams were formed.

He's not being charged with intending to kill the kid.

People keep trying to figure out who to blame but it seems to me that multiple people deserve the blame here.

Not sure, but some ppl here seem to expect the cops to just stroll in all howdy doody and make the arrest. It's not always that simple..

True that. Horrible confluence of events.
