A friend of mine was on holiday with some mates of his when they all fell out over something quite serious and he shot one of them in the head with a pellet gun.
He was arrested in Spain and his court case took place in England with a 5 year charge and a life imprisoment charge – sorry I can’t remember which sections or clauses – but the possibility of life for a pellet gun is pretty heavy shit.
The life charge was dropped, and he was given a years suspended sentence and 150 hours community service in place of the 5 year charge. So it is negotiable, not automatic.
Good luck, hope this helps and everything works out ok :group_hug
