It was not an accident
"An accident or a mishap is an unforeseen and unplanned event or circumstance, often with lack of intention or necessity."
The above from Webster's dictionary... This event was not unforeseen or unplanned. He intentionally pulled the trigger....
You know the range layout, but from your description it sounds careless and dangerous.
My last employer had a zero tolerance policy. 1 Nd and you were on a plane home. Dont pass go dont collect... You were done
We had a guy (good, solid dude) had a ND on the training range while clearing a malfunction. No better place to have one. He was on the firing line... Muzzle downrange. Somehow he discharged a round INTO THE BACKSTOP. He was off the range packing his stuff that afternoon and on a plane stateside that evening
While i dont agree with that strict a policy, ND/AD/anytime you bang off a round when your not supposed to, its a serious event
