The negligent shot must have been let loose at lower angle than what the news story simply called "fired into the air". Especially for the gun and the buggy to be more than a mile away from each other.

Very sad story, but regardless, when that bullet comes out the end of your gun, you are responsible, untill it stops, or at least that is the way it is here in Ky.
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American GI. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

The shooter did not turn himself in! His neighbors recalled hearing a shot around the time the girl was shot and reported it.The discharging of a firearm into the air that kills somebody would probably bring charges of either involuntary,or criminally negligent homicide.
This should be a warning to people that think firing a warning shot in a SD situation is a good idea.

So sorry for those involved. A sad, tragic event.
Never violate gun safety rules. I sometimes shoot from behind my house, as there are no houses for at least a dozen miles, with none visible even with optics. There is also a mountain between me and them. Still, I never shoot in the air with anything more than birdshot.
