SB 328- This act makes leaving the scene of an accidental
shooting a crime. A person is guilty of this crime if he: 1)
accidentally or negligently discharges a gun, 2) injures or kills
another due to his negligence, and 3) leaves the scene without
giving his name and address to a police officer. A person does
not violate this law if he leaves to get medical help or notify
the police as long as he returns to the scene of the shooting. A
person leaving the scene of an accidental shooting is guilty of a
Class A misdemeanor or a Class D felony if another person is
injured or killed or if he has previously violated this section.
