Commentary for Bava Kamma 88:10
מ"ט דרבי שמעון דאמר קרא (שמות כא, כט) השור יסקל וגם בעליו יומת כמיתת בעלים כך מיתת השור מה בעלים עד דמיכוין ליה אף שור נמי עד דמיכוין ליה

Simeon. For it has been taught: R. Simeon says: Even where [the ox] aimed at killing one person and [by accident] killed another person there would be no liability. What was the reason of R. Simeon? — Scripture states: The ox shall be stoned and its owner also shall be put to death,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ex. XXI, 29. ');"><sup>10</sup></span>
