Aggravated Assault

Using a firearm to intentionally or recklessly inflict (or attempt to inflict) serious bodily injury on another person. Under U.S. law this typically constitutes aggravated assault or assault with a deadly weapon and is a felony in most jurisdictions.

Situation:

"Frank discharges his handgun at other characters multiple times during the episode. Early on he shoots Dennis and Dee (Dennis: 'You shot us! I got shot in the face!'), and by the end he 'officially shot everyone in the bar.' Those shootings caused bodily injury or put people in immediate danger."

Implicated: Frank Reynolds
Crime #1

Property destruction

Intentionally damaging another person's property (shooting or otherwise impairing doors, locks, vehicles or fixtures), which can be prosecuted under criminal mischief/vandalism statutes.

Situation:

"At one point Frank fires at a lock/door ('Take that, lock.'; 'And the door wasn't even locked. You're paying for that door, Frank.'), damaging property by discharging his firearm."

Implicated: Frank Reynolds
Crime #1

Reckless Endangerment

Conduct that creates a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person; when victims are minors this commonly qualifies as child endangerment or child neglect under U.S. law.

Situation:

"Throughout the episode Frank handles and fires a gun in public places (a bar/restaurant, in cars, on the bridge/beach), repeatedly claiming or implying it was unloaded and otherwise acting without regard for others' safety (including letting people handle/scratch him with the gun and firing it around the group)."
