While the shotgun being discharged accidently was a source of danger and had the possibility of inccuring loss or misfortune, I hardly think that the person who did said act did it with a defiant disregard for the consequences. It's not like the person who did said act looked that carpet and said "DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE" and pulled the trigger.

Sorry but if you give a gun to a highly trained law enforcement officer and he fires it unintentionally, then that is reckless. Reckless because he either ignored established procedure or he forgot/was unaware of it.

If he ignored it then I would say that definitely showed "defiant disregard for danger or consequences" on the officer's part

If he forgot/was unaware of it then I would say that definitely showed "defiant disregard for danger or consequences" on the part of whoever issued him with the gun.

However you look at it "reckless endangerment" seems a reasonable description to me.
