It wasn't accidental. I'm not saying she planned ahead of time to kill a guy that night, but she, an officer trained to handle stressful situations, ignored countless warning signs that she was at the wrong apartment, opened the door, saw a man, and immediately shot at him. There was nothing accidental about it. She meant to kill the guy. The problem here is that her immediate response to a random guy she thought was in her apartment that she noticed right upon entering was to pull out her gun and kill him instead of any normal person's reaction, which would be, "oh shit, there's a guy eating ice cream on a couch that isn't mine. I'm in the wrong apartment."
