Yeah, intent tends to be everything with unfortunate events.
I can argue that the woman may have fallen down the stairs with her baby on purpose. We can say she didn't take proper precautions, use the hand rails, ran down/up the stairs, only carry the baby in a safe device like a car seat, or that she simply should not allow the child to risk traversing up/don the stairs.
With a gun/balcony, the intent was pretty clear. With the stairs/car, they are both presumed accidents.
Cars will end the world in fire. Maybe already have.
Cant really do that with small arms fire.
