I doubt there's going to be any consequences about this. It doesn't seem like anything Cheney did was criminal, and I doubt the guy is going to press a civil suit. I'm relatively sure (without any evidence, however) that the US has some law about careless use of a firearm, even if it just fits as a specific type of assault. But I doubt Cheney was careless enough for his culpability to be criminal.
