The only thing I got out of that story is that he received incoming fire and panicked. Without having any clear targets and in a zone he knew to be full of civilians he fired his weapon blindly. His rounds failed to hit the unseen RPG operator but instead penetrated the house.
He did not report to command his failure to properly secure the scene after the engagement and was thus unable to verify if there were any casualties or of what type, making claims of civilian casualties unverifiable.
Later he became angry when confronted with his actions and without any further proof labelled the alleged victims as insurgents.
He also admitted to frequently discharging his weapon at targets he was unable to identify or effectively engage.
This fucking thing reads like an Article 32 hearing transcript, don't it?
