I have lost count of the shots I have NOT taken because I could not 100% identify the target AND/OR positively know where a missed shot would fall.
It's hunting- not war. Mistakes are not an option.
I DO feel sorry for the poor dumb SOB that shot a camper- a little. I feel a lot sorrier for her and her family. I can't feel that 'but for the grace of the gods- there goes me.'
THAT is the hallmark of a GENUINE accident.

That doesn't mean there's any excuse for not identifying your target but compassion can go lots of ways.
Have been almost killed servel times by the entirely preventable actions of others, my commpassion for negigent stupidity is about zero
