This is a different one. Supposedly an accidental shot that ricoched down a stair well to the next floor and hit a guy in the chest.
odd parts.

Liang said he drew his pistol as he and his partner patrolled the darkened 8th floor stairwell of the Louis H. Pink Houses in Brooklyn. He said he flinched when he was startled by a noise, which he said caused the gun to fire.
The bullet ricocheted off of the stairwell wall and struck Gurley, who was on the seventh floor. Gurley, who was unarmed, died from a wound in his chest.
Liang tearfully recounted the shooting in court, claiming his finger was never on the trigger.
"I was panicking. I was in shock, in disbelief that someone was actually hit," he told jurors.
Liang and his partner testified they didn't realize anyone had been shot for several minutes and said they didn't try to perform CPR on Gurley because they felt untrained.
