Never a real gun, loaded or not. He was shooting at the camera and the girl killed was the operator. He was shooting was he thought and was told was an empty gun.

As I intimated, he probably did not intend to kill anyone, but any time you are handed a gun and regardless of what you are told about that gun it is your responsibility to make sure that it is safe, or if not then you must treat it differently. The gun handler is always 100% responsible for what happens with any gun in their possession.
