Legal implications: Although the shooter may have the thought the gun unloaded, threatening another with a firearm is at the very least negligent enough to warrant negligent homicide, and depending on the jurisdiction enough a crime to be a felony. If the threat is felony, that charge could be upped to felony-murder despite the fact the victim was in the process committing suicide.

This is question 1 on your prototypical 1L criminal law exam.

"further investigation revealed that the son was, in fact, Ronald Opus"

It took further investigation to reveal this?

This story reeks of BS.

There are two men, Mr. Black and Mr. White, who both (independently) want to kill a third man, let's call him Mr. Green. The three men go hiking in the desert. One night, while they are sleeping in their tents, Mr. Black sneaks into Mr. Green's tent and puts poison in Mr. Green's canteen, assuming that Mr. Green will drink the poison the next day and die. Later that night, Mr. White sneaks into Mr. Green's tent, and empties the canteen, assuming that Mr. Green will die of thirst. The next day, Mr. Green dies of thirst.

Who is guilty of his murder? It can't be Mr. Black. He attempted to poison Mr. Green and Mr. Green died of thirst. But it can't be Mr. White. All he did was remove the poison from Mr. Green's canteen.
