Your question comes down to murder vs manslaughter
In many parts of the world, murder requires intent while manslaughter does not.

By that definition shooting into a crowd with a gun would not qualify for murder unless the perpetrator had the intention to kill (dolus directus). Other criteria are malice aforethought and dolus eventualis.
