9. Reckless Imprudence Resulting Into Frustrated Homicide

(10%)
During a concert of Gary V., and in order to prevent the crowd from rushing to the stage, Rafael Padilla (a security guard) pointed his gun at the onrush of people. When the crowd still pushed forward, Rafael fired his gun into the air to scare them off. However, the bullet hit one of the metal roof supports, ricocheted and then hit one of the stage crew members, causing injuries which resulted in the latter’s confinement in a hospital for twelve days.

What crime/s did Rafael commit? Explain your answer.

Rafael committed reckless imprudence resulting in less serious physical injuries. There was inexcusable lack of precaution when Rafael fired his gun despite the presence of the crowd within the vicinity. And since the offended party was confined in the hospital for 12 days (which is more than 10 days but less than 30 days), less serious physical injuries resulted.
