It's firearms handling 101, always treat the firearm as if it's loaded and never point/aim at anything that you do not intend to destroy.
Personally I would have politely walked over and asked him/her to not do that, no need to make a scene or whatever. He may have been a new shooter or was never taught proper gun etiquette, remember you're as much of a representative of the shooting community as he/she is.
It's easier to guide someone with and open hand than with a closed fist.
