What to do when you've made an enemy on your own side? Good thing there is a convenient battle coming up... What's one more casualty between friends? The coroner will never know the difference.
Shoot the guy In the Back yourself, or push him into enemy fire, it makes little difference. Nobody's going to check. That annoying squadmate or sergeant is dead, and you can now resume shooting the enemy like nothing wrong happened. Even if someone recognizes that it was your side's ammunition, Friend or Foe? might have happened; even if someone knows you shot him, you can feign bewilderment, claiming in a friend-or-foe situation you made a terrible but understandable mistake — sometimes.
As you might imagine, this is Truth in Television. The military even has a name for it that stems from the use of a fragmentation grenade to kill someone on one's own side of the conflict: "fragging" (which has since become a part of the gamer's lexicon after its use in Doom's popular Deathmatch mode). This originally referred to the specific act of throwing a fragmentation grenadenote because a fired rifle or pistol round can be used to identify the specific weapon from which it was fired, and by extension the guilty party, whereas shrapnel can at most identify the model of weapon into the offending officer's tent, but soon spread to all methods. Sometimes even a junior officer, concerned over senseless waste of his men, would eliminate a glory-hungry or inefficient senior officer to save his unit.
Contrast Trial by Friendly Fire, which is about the grisly mathematics of deciding when it's safe to risk accidental friendly fire in order to hit an enemy, and Cold Equation, about the grisly mathematics of actively sacrificing the few to save the many. See also I Just Shot Marvin in the Face, when accidental friendly fire was unexpected, and Collateral Damage, when a stray shot hits someone completely at random, friend or foe.
The Team Killer is a character (or player) who engages in unfriendly fire. See also Uriah Gambit for purposely sending an underling to his death. A video game's rules on the issue sometimes result in Friendly Fireproof or a Nonstandard Game Over.

StarCraft:
Clicking on a Terran Marine enough times to irritate him will eventually prompt the line, "I vote we frag this commander." Not that it's actually any sort of threat, considering your nature as a Non-Entity General.
In the sequel, one of Tychus Findlay's gameplay quotes is "Friendly fire... ain't."

The Brother Cadfael book One Corpse Too Many uses a variation on both this and Uriah Gambit. After a mass hanging, there is an extra corpse hidden among them. The extra corpse was strangled, not hanged — but it turns out that one of those hanged was The Mole and was meant to have been spared, and the villain deliberately set him up to be hanged as well, so as not to have to share the treasure.

Occurs in volume four of The Walking Dead, "The Heart's Desire". Rick shoots Dexter, a prison inmate who stated his intent to forcibly evict Rick and his group from the well-stocked and spacious prison as soon as the zombie attack was quelled. It was under the cover of a heated, surprise zombie attack. This is one of the first incidents that show Rick is on a slippery slope. Executed in a somewhat Anvilicious manner as the victim taunted his murderer that he would have done the same thing if given the opportunity.

This later comes back to bite Benigaris when the testimony of a soldier who witnessed the event is used to incite rebellion against him.

Also, a possible secret objective in games, particularly Apocalypse* Large-scale games where huge and dead-killy units, formations, and assets that are normally unavailable can be used. battles, is to get an allied, but rival character or unit killed.

Fullmetal Alchemist: During the Ishvalan War of Extermination, Basque Grand informs his superior officer Brigadier General Fessler that 60% of all Amestrian officer deaths are at the hands of their own soldiers. He then proceeds to nonchalantly shoot Fessler at point-blank range in the chest with a rifle to stop him from ordering the death of the surrendering Ishvalan leader and wasting more lives. The nearby soldiers agree it was a stray bullet and then ask Basque for orders as he is now the highest ranked officer.

In Borderlands 2, the missions in Overlook introduce you to one of the town's inhabitants, a misogynist Jerkass named Dave. He repeatedly insults and berates the Vault Hunter while they're doing missions that directly benefit him, and is even worse towards Karima, Overlook's mayor and quest-giver. After helping Karima construct a Deflector Shield to protect the town, your final mission is to test it by commandeering a Hyperion mortar and firing it at Overlook. At Karima's direction, you input the coordinates and launch the mortar. Dave breaks into your radio channel to spew some more grossly offensive comments towards Karima... until the mortar shell comes down on top of his house, sending it and him plummeting into the sea. Karima then cheerily comments "Now, let's try that with the shield on".

Dragaera: The preface to The Paths of the Dead confirms through denial that Adron did this in battle to a challenger to leadership for the House of the Dragon. The two were on the same side, but Adron hired the assassin Mario to kill the other guy during the battle. It's kind of important to learn this, as while Adron comes across as a Well-Intentioned Extremist when trying to seize the throne in the previous book, with the new information, he seems more clearly to be The Evil Prince.

Sturmtruppen is about the misadventures of a German battalion in World War II, so of course this happens from time to time:
Implied with an early captain, that started an assault shouting "If I advance follow me, if I go back shoot me"... And promptly reached the edge of a cliff, under the eyes of his grinning soldiers.
The two guys from the 27th Armored Battalion (of Discipline) once almost shot the sergeant while cleaning their weapons, and when he protested they told him they'd never "accidentally" shoot him... Not in presence of witnesses. Later, after the sergeant forced private Otto to hold his pants while he had sex with his "girlfriend" (actually the battalion's whore, whom Otto had paid for the whole night), they give him a much-deserved lesson and remind him that there's plenty of steets with no witnesses where she takes customers.
After a glory hound took over the battalion and was about to get it decimated in a suicide attack to grab a promotion, the guys from the 27th tricked him into walking into a minefield.
At times regular soldiers try to murder the sergeant, but, being a veteran from the previous war, he's extremely hard to kill (in one occasion they put a rattlesnake in his lunch and him ate it after mistaking it for an eel). They do succeed at time... Resulting in him being replaced by someone equally nasty.

In Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the Umbaran troops, after employing guerrilla tactics for a few episodes, steal several Clone Trooper uniforms, leading to some cases of this. Except everyone killed in that battle was a Clone Trooper, and the Umbarans stealing uniforms story was entirely a ruse by their Smug Snake Jedi General, to make the Republic lose the battle, and help him prove himself to the Sith. In response, both Clonetrooper units turn on him and arrest him.

Most probably happened in Ran, when the general rides up to the second oldest prince to tell him that his older brother was killed by a stray bullet. When the prince looks at the still-smoking musket in the general's hand, he wordlessly throws it away and they never speak of it again.

Fallout: New Vegas
The main game has a sidequest with the Boomers where one of them has a crush on a member of the Crimson Caravan Company. You can lie to her and tell her that it's safe to travel to the Boomer's base, resulting in her being killed by their artillery defenses.
At the beginning of the DLC Honest Hearts, as you are fighting off the tribals that wiped out your caravan party, Follows-Chalk suddenly jumps into the fray. Unwary players with sniper rifles may accidentally shoot him, causing failure of the main quest.

Warframe: While the game normally uses Friendly Fireproof for both sides, the "Radiation" status effect turns this off, in order to simulate confusion. Due to heavy Health/Damage Asymmetry, oftentimes the first sign that a player has been affected by Radiation is when everyone else in the team is suddenly downed, as the player's overpowered weapons kill everyone in one hit.

Schlock Mercenary:
Discussed, just after a wargame in which ex-General Karl Tagon called down an artillery strike on his own squad of hand-painted duck-lobber gnomes in order to ensure victory.
Schlock Mercenary also has a much more downplayed example with gunfoam rounds and low-profile body armor. Because it's harmless (roughly akin to a firm kick to the shin), it becomes incredibly tempting to tap someone on the shoulder from fifty paces. That, and shooting your commanding officer in the back never gets old.

It's heavily implied in Fallout 4 that this was how Sarah Lyons was killed after her father's death, which paved the way for Maxson's tenure as Elder, as appointed by the traditionalist Lost Hills branch.. It is also possible to inflict friendly fire and even kill a settler during a settlement defense radiant quest. Be warned that if you do so, it is considered murder, and many of your companions will drop their affinity for you to the lowest extreme, and leave you permanently. Or even attack you, forcing you to kill them.

Guts from the Berserk manga did this when he was only eight years old. He was raped by a pederast soldier named Donovan after his adoptive father Gambino sold him to the mercenary for three silver coins. Guts took violent revenge during the very next battle, shooting Donovan in the back with a crossbow and then laying into him with his sword, demanding to know who had sold him to him. Guts did not believe Donovan's final confession that it was Gambino who sold him until the fateful night when Gambino, who lost his leg to a cannonball during the battle in question, got drunk, confessed to the deed, and then tried to murder him.

Star Wars: The Old Republic
In the Sith Warrior storyline, one of your companions, Captain Malavai Quinn, tells you about a Grand Moff he served under who, due to turning a key battle around against orders, has made Quinn's career in the Imperial military hit stone wall upon stone wall. Said Grand Moff, however, is batshit insane and likely suffering from dementia, referring to Quinn as "Admiral Malcontent," believing that to be Quinn's name and rank, even going as far as to blame Quinn for Revan and Bastilla's escape from Taris in KOTOR 1 three centuries prior, something neither the Moff nor Quinn were even alive for, and an event that may not have actually happened, ultimately leading to this, during which the Moff is ordering your character and companions to kill themselves. And there is much rejoicing from the soldiers formerly under the Moff's command after he's been "retired."

Horus Heresy:
At the end of False Gods, Loken explains to Torgaddon that Varkasus had been killed with Imperial ammunition — and not a stray shot, but dead on.
In Galaxy in Flames, Loken tells this to two iterators and concludes it was because he wanted certain men court-martialed. They conclude that nay-sayers are being eliminated. Later in the book, the Warmaster sends a third of his forces to a planet and virus-bombs them. Only Tarvitz's discovery let any of the betrayed men survive. After the attack, Tarvitz goes to join his Legion's survivors, partly in hope of reorganizing their forces, but part so that he could die with them at need, in defiance of the division the Warmaster had tried to bring.

In L.A. Noire, during a flashback to World War 2, when Phelps orders his flamethrower to incinerate a Japanese cave full of injured soldiers and civilians, he is shot in the back by Courtney Sheldon. Sergeant Kelso then orders that he be brought to an aid station and that 'everything that happened in here stays in here'.

In The Short-Timers, a Vietnam War era novel by Gustav Hasford which famously inspired Full Metal Jacket, fragging of the Marines platoon leader is implied though not confirmed. It doesn't help that the character in question is both a sociopath and in habit of bragging about his alleged exploits in the area of killing his superiors.

This gets mentioned in an episode of M*A*S*H when a wounded enlisted man dies on the table. When Hawkeye informs his squadmates one caustically questions whether it was an enemy soldier that killed him or one of theirs. It turns out the soldier was a known thief and con artist who had been targeting his own squad.

In the Red vs. Blue miniseries "Recovery One", Agent South shoots Agent Wash to provide armor equipment as bait for the Meta and escape from the scene. In fact, she frequently puts her allies in a position to die. Her brother, for example, suffered such a fate, and she nearly gave Delta to the Meta to get away. Wash returns the favor in kind when he finally catches up to her. Several of Sarge's plans start and finish with him shooting Grif. Slightly fewer start and finish with him directing someone else to shoot Grif.

BattleTech Novelizations:
In the novel Warrior: En Garde, a colonel hands a letter to his assistant informing his commander that a particularly arrogant Internal Security Force agent has died in a kendo practice accident, receiving a crushed windpipe... just as the agent walks in in his kendo armor.
Similarly, in the novel Exodus Road, Trent incinerates Jez with his Mech's lasers after she rubs her brutality and political backstabbing in his face one too many times. He did challenge her to a Trial of Grievance first to make it semi-legal, but she declined, bringing it back to this trope.

In Freeman's Mind, this is a Running Gag with the HECU marines, along with other military stupidities. The soldiers have a tendency to shoot, blow up, and call down airstrikes on their buddies. Freeman has four theories about this behavior: 1) The soldiers all hate each other and are shooting each other on purpose, 2) The military are being covered up along with the scientists (which is actually true, but wasn't the cause of all the friendly fire- the black ops/"ninjas" were behind it), 3) Everyone's on drugs, and 4) The soldiers are just really, really stupid. The actual reason is Artificial Stupidity- among other things, the HECU enemies aren't programmed to be cautious of their fellow soldiers when using grenades or to acknowledge the grenades that other marines threw, resulting in a lot of running over a just-thrown grenade to get at Freeman and getting blown up.

Perhaps narrowly averted in The Hurt Locker, where Sergeant James interrupts a bomb detonation because he thinks he left his gloves at the second bomb site. He takes the Humvee with him, leaving Sanborn and Eldritch alone in the sun. Sanborn toys with detonating the second bomb while James is there, speaking ominously with Eldritch about how they would be able to get away with it as well.

In Iji, Krotera is such an extreme General Ripper, that when he breaks the truce during a Pacifist Run, one of his troops happily takes it as an excuse to nail him with a BFG and blame it on the protagonist. Iosa The Invincible may also suffer the same fate, especially during a Pacifist Run, as a fellow Komato thinks that Iosa's aggressive nature is not a good thing (not to mention that Iosa knows about her illegal weapon smuggling activities on the side).

Warhammer 40,000 Expanded Universe:
In the Blood Angels novel Red Fury, Flesh Tearers fire on a location where they know Blood Angels are. While they know they will survive, being Astartes, they also know they will be caught in the rubble. (The first of several unfriendly incidents.)
The Ciaphas Cain (HERO OF THE IMPERIUM) novels strongly imply that this is frequent practice in the 40K universe. Commissars are frequent targets, primarily because shooting soldiers for crimes/cowardice in the field (or just to keep the others in line) is their job. In fact, Cain's motivation for not behaving like a stereotypical Commissar and inspiring his men without needing to shoot them is specifically to avoid little accidents like these.
Gaunt's Ghosts:
In The Guns of Tanith, Lijah Cuu uses this method to dispose of Bragg.
In the next novel, Straight Silver, Cuu likewise uses this as cover to murder Sehra Muril. Larkin considers doing this to Cuu, even joining a patrol with his hated enemy to find the opportunity, but agonizes over the shot and ultimately can't take it, much to his later shame and regret.
In Ghostmaker, Sturm ordered his artillery to open fire on the Ghosts because they were chasing enemies and he could claim it was a Friend or Foe? situation.
Horus Heresy:
At the end of False Gods, Loken explains to Torgaddon that Varkasus had been killed with Imperial ammunition — and not a stray shot, but dead on.
In Galaxy in Flames, Loken tells this to two iterators and concludes it was because he wanted certain men court-martialed. They conclude that nay-sayers are being eliminated. Later in the book, the Warmaster sends a third of his forces to a planet and virus-bombs them. Only Tarvitz's discovery let any of the betrayed men survive. After the attack, Tarvitz goes to join his Legion's survivors, partly in hope of reorganizing their forces, but part so that he could die with them at need, in defiance of the division the Warmaster had tried to bring.

After War Gundam X:
Garrod finds himself and Tifa being attacked by several Vultures and Bandits after the X. As he tries to fight his way through, several of the enemies start deciding that their fellows' damaged mobile suits make for much easier salvage and begin turning on each other.
In one episode, the Frost brothers kill off an allied Newtype pilot as part of their "revenge" for being designated failures; Olba even quips "There's always friendly fire on the battlefield" when they do so.
In Episode 27, UNE soldier Duett Langraph, whose ferocity earned him the nickname the Hunter of the Eastern Front, slaughters three of his fellow UNE soldiers to show off his skills to the Frost brothers. They are impressed, and Shagia Frost remarks that they will explain it away as an accident happening in a warzone.

This happened at the city of Pale, in Genabackis, in the Malazan Book of the Fallen, during the fight with Anomander Rake and Moon's Spawn; Tayschrenn took advantage of the battle to kill two of the High Mages on his side, and Rake lost the battle because he was investing a lot of his energy just protecting mages on the opposing side from Tayschrenn. Or so it seemed at the time anyway. In truth, Tayschrenn's involvement was a lot less of a simple attack on his own side than it appeared at first glance and less pre-planned. He was in fact more of a good guy taking action against a third party that was interfering, which was misunderstood by the Pov character at the time in the chaos, not helped by those who seemed to believe her and subsequently rebelling against the empire (then appearing a lot more evil than in fact it is — though not being all sunshine and roses of course) being revealed a long way down the line to be involved in a very long term Gambit Roulette with Tayschrenn (although that incident was not a part of the plan) and in fact still loyal.

Basic revolves around an investigation into the presumed death of Drill Sergeant West and most of the unit of Army Ranger trainees that he took on a training exercise with live ammunition. West is famous/infamous for his extremely harsh methods (Hardy, one of the investigators, was trained by West and likens it to torture), and even flat out boasting how he has regularly arranged "training accidents" for recruits that didn't meet his standards but refused to drop out of the program. As soon as Hardy hears that West is missing and presumed dead, he assumes that West finally pushed one of his recruits too far and the recruit found an opportunity to kill West during the exercise. The two survivors of the exercise keep changing their stories as the investigators look into the affair, and sometimes West's death is a case of this... and sometimes it's something else all together.

Warhammer 40,000
As mentioned under the Literature examples above, this is something that has a tendency to happen to Commissars, and is probably why all of the novel viewpoint characters are particularly trigger-unhappy when it comes to their own men. In fact, this was an actual rule for Imperial Guard armies in earlier editions when playing the Catachans, since they were based on Vietnam War American Troops, and this is where the practice became most common (in the public's eye, at least). You had to roll for every commissar in your army, with a one in six chance that he was fragged before the battle started. In addition, if a Guard unit with an attached Commissar does rout despite his presence (after he has already executed the unit's officer for their first leadership failure), the Commissar is removed from that squad... because the Guardsmen shot and killed him before he could start killing them for cowardice.
Also, a possible secret objective in games, particularly Apocalypse* Large-scale games where huge and dead-killy units, formations, and assets that are normally unavailable can be used. battles, is to get an allied, but rival character or unit killed. Actually inverted in one White Dwarf battle report, though, where one player's objective was to make sure his commander died gloriously, while another one was tasked with keeping him alive!
Kharn didn't get his title "the Betrayer" for nothing; the particular incident was when he grabbed a flamer and started attacking friendly and enemy forces alike after they had bunkered down to wait out a severe snowstorm (his actions shattered both the World Eaters and Emperor's Children Legions into small warbands). On the Tabletop, Kharn always hits in combat, but rolls of 1 mean he hits one of his retinue instead of the enemy.
A bizarre instance of this is why the Crimson Fists nearly went extinct. During a siege against an Ork attack, a Crimson Fist missile somehow missed its target, bypassed the shields of the Fortress Monastery, and blew the whole thing to Kingdom Come when it struck their munitions stash. Several people question if it was an accident, or deliberate sabotage.

The Punisher:
In The Punisher: Born from Marvel MAX line, an account of Frank Castle's time in Vietnam before he became The Punisher, Frank eliminates a general trying to shut down Firebase Valley Forge by recommending the view from a hilltop while standing in front of a sniper warning sign. Such situations are a Running Gag.
During Frank's very first tour, one corrupt quartermaster was responsible for Frank's squad nearly getting eliminated (by swapping out new batteries for old ones and selling the new ones, leaving the squad with no radio). The quartermaster is last seen waking up to find a grenade pin on his pillow, then is said to have been fragged properly.

Recursive example in the original Call of Duty, at the beginning of the Russian campaign, you (as an unarmed conscript) are directed by a sniper to move to a position where you and he can take out a German machine-gun team. Problem: the new position is slightly further off the line of battle, and Comrade Stalin's orders of "not one step back" are being enforced by The Political Officer, who is gunning down anyone who's moving backward even in a flanking maneuver. Solution: you go first, drawing the political officer's attention and aim, and the sniper clears the way for you.

The scoundrel Harry Flashman has many opportunities to do this over his scandalous career, but usually chickens out. A notable example is in Flashman and the Angel of the Lord, where he is blackmailed (by Northern Abolitionists and Southern Secessionists) into infiltrating John Brown's gang and assassinating him if his raid on Harper's Ferry looks like it might succeed. During the raid Flashman instead shoots his co-conspirator before he can kill Brown, saving Brown and still fulfilling the trope.

In "The Even Chance" of Horatio Hornblower, Jack Simpson tries to kill his shipmates in the middle of a raid by setting knocked-out Kennedy adrift in a boat and shooting Hornblower (he hits him in the head and he falls from a mast into the sea). Kennedy goes M.I.A. and is presumed dead. Hornblower is saved by Finch, a lower-deck sailor from his division. Unfortunately, Hornblower has no proof that it was Simpson who shot at him. The dispute is solved with Simpson's challenge to a duel.

Sharpe:
In Sharpe's Waterloo, the Prince of Orange (a.k.a. "The Young Frog"), who happens to be Sharpe's immediate (nominal) superior, is eventually shot by Sharpe because he's too stupid to lead and is putting everyone's lives at risk, having got two entire regiments killed. Later, Sharpe apologises to the member of the Prince of Orange's staff who'd finally snapped and told Sharpe (who had himself walked off in disgust) about what Orange had done... because it wasn't a kill shot. Wellington later figures it out in Sharpe's Assassin, and ends up being an Open Secret (because the circumstances of Sharpe's departure were not unknown, he was suspiciously nearby at the time, and he has a certain reputation). Fortunately, since it turned out to be a non-lethal wound that got a Spanner in the Works off the battlefield, Wellington a) thinks it's hilarious, b) tacitly praises Sharpe as it was "a very good shot" because of what it achieved.
Sharpe himself was the target of this or Uriah Gambit several times, usually by aristocratic officers who had been embarrassed by him.
Given the number of enemies they make on their own side, Sharpe and his friends pull this quite a few times. Notable examples include the bullying and murderous Sergeant Lynch being dispatched on patrol with a number of the men he'd bullied and last being seen with them all grinning at him (the remains are described as looking barely human), Sharpe casually dispatching Lieutenant Berry while on patrol (in his first very first appearance) and making it look like Lord Hale, who was actually killed by his wife, Sharpe's lover, in self-defence, died in battle at Trafalgar with the sailor who helps him dispose of the body catching on very quickly.
After one of the Battles in Sharpe's Enemy, Sharpe is informed that A: a major was killed and B: he was rather obviously shot in the back. Sharpe asks if the man was unpopular and when informed that he was widely hated, he simply shrugs and notes, "It happens."
In the same scene Sharpe also reminisces on some other incidents he recalls, including an officer so hated he begged the men to at least let the enemy kill him. Sharpe is reasonably certain they granted his wish...
Despite his best efforts (including no fewer than three prior attempts) Sharpe's killing of Hakeswill isn't a case of this. When he finally rids himself of the loathsome sergeant, it's by administration of the coup de grace after a firing squad didn't quite finish the job of killing the now convicted deserter.

In Final Fantasy Tactics, the only school of magic that is Friendly Fireproof is summoning, so if you cast a spell that takes a while to go off the AI will make a beeline to one of your allies such that they get caught the area of effect and the otherwise insanely powerful Math Skill (which allows you to instantly cast most types of non-summoning magic for free so long as your target's level, experience, CT, or height is a prime number or a multiple of 3, 4, or 5) is dangerous to use because it's totally indiscriminate.

Battlestar Galactica (2003): After demanding at gunpoint that his troops carry out an ill-conceived attack on Kobol, Crashdown gets shot in the back by Dr. Baltar, who later claims he died "in the best traditions of the service". None of the others dispute this version of events. For bonus points, the episode is titled "Fragged". Cally then uses it to blackmail Baltar in the very next episode to get Tyrol out of trouble, however — displaying remarkable ingratitude, given that Crashdown was threatening to shoot her in the head when Baltar killed him, something Baltar all but lampshades.

Part of the many hazards faced by the heroes halfway through Windtalkers is the Marines being trapped in a trench adjacent to the Japanese army... and being hit by cannons fired by the US Navy, who thought they're targeting the Japanese. Resulting in the Marine's sergeant, Joe Enders, and his partner Ben Yahtzee infiltrating the Japanese camp in order to steal a radio and call off the bombing.

This is one of Tigerclaw's methods in the Warrior Cats series when he's still a Villain with Good Publicity before his exile:
After a border fight, he kills the Clan deputy, Redtail, hopińg he'll be made deputy himself. He places the blame for Redtail's death on Oakheart, whom Redtail had been fighting against and who had been killed in the battle so he wouldn't be around to deny it. Too bad Ravenpaw had been hiding in the bushes and saw it happen...
Wanting to kill his leader in order to become leader himself, Tigerclaw convinces a group of rogues to attack the camp. During the battle, he attacks Bluestar, hoping to make it look like a rogue had killed her.

The Flashpoint fanfic Belonging:
It turns the canonical Friendly Fire incident in Sam's backstory into this. Though in this case, the primary victim is collateral damage; the actual target was Sam himself, but because Sam was a sniper (and thus not usually in the line of fire), to have him killed by friendly fire would be suspicious, so the Major who was behind the plan arranged instead for him to kill his best friend, thinking that Sam would kill himself over the guilt. It almost works.
The backstory also reveals that said Major and one of his accomplices had arranged for a similar "accident" to befall a unit commander who was beginning to get suspicious. An investigation into the Major's past reveals that many of his enemies seem to die in mysterious "accidents".

Mace manages to commandeer two gunships of the local militia, who are allied with the Separatists, and fires on the starfighters. The droids, not having the programming to understand hijacking, believe that the militia has turned on them, and promptly annihilate dozens of the gunships.

The Ciaphas Cain (HERO OF THE IMPERIUM) novels strongly imply that this is frequent practice in the 40K universe. Commissars are frequent targets, primarily because shooting soldiers for crimes/cowardice in the field (or just to keep the others in line) is their job. In fact, Cain's motivation for not behaving like a stereotypical Commissar and inspiring his men without needing to shoot them is specifically to avoid little accidents like these.

In Mass Effect: Andromeda you are asked by a turian Marietta to help clear the name of her husband Nilken Rensis who has been convicted of fratricide on his squad leader during a hopeless battle against the Kett. Your investigation into the matter technically clears Nilken. It was a shot from a Kett weapon that killed the squad leader. But an audio log shows that Nilken did argue with and even scuffled with his squad leader, while the squad was engaging hostile Kett. Most damming is a recording in which Nilken fired his weapon at his squad leader — it was only his dumb luck that his shot missed. You can, if you choose to, exile him for his attempt at fratricide.

Part of the Great Jedi Purge in Revenge of the Sith is enacted this way, with the Clonetroopers turning on their Jedi commanders and shooting them while they're distracted fighting the Separatists. In particular, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ki-Adi-Mundi are in the middle of battles when their troops turn on them, and others are patrolling and looking for enemies when it happens. Justified in that every Jedi is a formidable enemy that would exact horrible losses and could well escape if not caught completely by surprise.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown:
In the mission "Faceless Soldier", it is speculated that AWACS Bandog intentionally tagged Full Band as an enemy during an ambush by Erusean fighters with spoofed Osean IFFs, leading to Count shooting Full Band down by mistake. The most probable motive is that Full Band was blabbering out classified information nonstop in a combat zone which could jeopardize Spare Squadron's safety or even the entire Osean war effort, so Bandog has to silence him and Make It Look Like an Accident.
It is entirely possible for the Player Character to do this in the next mission "Transfer Orders". Trigger and Count are tasked with escorting their Base Commander, Colonel McKinsey, across the border of an allied country, but along the way, Trigger can shoot down McKinsey’s plane, and be rewarded a thousand points for it, with AWACS Bandog remarking that the cargo wasn’t worth protecting. The downside, is that doing so results in the mission failing.
