> What happens if someone shots from the Russian module, the bullet goes to the European module and it kills someone in the American module?

In this case, at least per the article, it'd just be prosecuted under the suspect's nation's laws.

If space law were modeled off international waters law, though, then I'd imagine any case law pertaining to crimes involving multiple ships of different nationalities (e.g. an American ship, a European ship, and a Russian ship are bridged together to exchange supplies, and someone shoots from the Russian ship, bounces the bullet off the European ship, and the bullet hits and kills someone on the American ship) would apply here.
