I still need help finding examples

I posted the thread

I need help finding examples where civilians, legally carrying a firearm in public, have accidentally shot one or more bystanders while legally defending themselves against a violent attack.

There are several examples by law enforcement, but I have been unsuccessful finding examples of civilians.

Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.

I received one but only one response where, sadly. a young, innocent lady was shot and lost her life a few months ago in Houston, Texas

So I will expand the question

I need help finding anecdotal examples where civilians have accidentally shot one or more bystanders while legally defending themselves against a violent attack where ever the incident occurred.

There are several examples by law enforcement, but I have been unsuccessful finding examples of civilians.

Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.

There are more than 1 million incidents in the USA each year where firearms are used by honest citizens to defend against violent attacks. What are the odds of an innocent bystander being killed in that process?

Semper Fi,
