      If the govt claims that nobody is hiding behind the curtain, then the govt cannot claim that shooting the curtain is attempted murder.

        If the person believed that there was someone behind it, and fired a gun at it with intent to kill, it’s attempted murder.

        yeah this is one of those things that is hard to argue technically but is obvious common sense wise. I mean its not the hardest. murder is one of the highest crimes were as a fair and impartial process from peers is a right.
