He didn't know they were innocent people. His commanding officer didn't know they were innocent. All they saw was a car speeding towards them. They didn't know there were children inside the car, they only saw a potential threat. I find it extremely horrible that those innocent people died, but I cannot lay any blame on the soldiers. Those people were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and whether they meant to or not, they appeared to be threat to those soldiers.

Did you even read the article?
He did not open fire on the car, He was being ordered to fire..and he felt he was in no danger from the approaching vehicle and he was right..The soldiers ordering him to fire were wrong.
From what Anderson says..even after the fact..He was told that if he is ordered to fire he is to open fire, even after they seen it was innocent people in the vehicle.
