...'Brooklyn, arresting and handcuffing the store owner, Tian Liang Liu. The charges, including reckless endangerment, relate to fire code violations due to the unsafe storage and charging of batteries.'

If an e-bike Store Owner/Operator can be Charged w/'reckless endangerment, related to fire code violations ...'
can Owner/Operators of e-bikes found to have ignited Fatal Fire due to 'the unsafe storage and charging of batteries.'
be Charged w/Reckless Endangerment Manslaughter? :unsure:
