Mistake or not you said it, he's still a murderer.
I'm saying that if I am to follow your logic, we should wait for the investigation to end before throwing any accusation.
And as I said before couldn't have been a mistake ? rsassa tayché ???
From any side.

You keep making the same amalgam: that of a private individual and that of a fighter in a MILITARY organisation.
If an individual is allowed to carry a gun, it is only to protect himself (and self-protection is usually defined by the law), or for hunting.
If a military organisation is allowed to carry weapons for protecting the country, it is another deal. The person belonging to the organisation is not responsible, but the organisation itself is. He is a murderer only if he shot willingly at a person even after he identified the target as friendly... An investigation is needed in order to determine why that person shot at the army!
Take it like if a private security organisation made the same mistake. If a person, employed to protect a bank, shoots at someone by mistake, an investigation is need: if that person shot without following procedure, then he is guilty (murderer is only for 1st degree murders. Not 2nd degree). If he followed procedure, then it is the organisation that is in fault.
Same also for police officers. Following procedure makes a person innocent of any crime. If he shot someone in the back (not procedure), then he is guilty!
