"We cannot confirm that it did not come from there, nor can we confirm that it did, said Chief Deputy Creed Hashe.
Hashe said investigators spent about two hours on the range after the report.
It's about an 8-acre site and we were hearing anywhere from 10-12 gunshots in the area that we know for a fact were not coming from the gun range because we were actually on the scene there, said Hashe.
Hashe said a nearby hunter could very well have been behind the bullet. |

This story stresses something all gun owners must be constantly cognizant of. We own every projectile we discharge. And we're the obvious "target of opportunity" for any stray - or intentional - bullet a homeowner reports.
But there's a lot "missing" in the account given. We only "know" its reported the house is "1300 feet " from the range. What caliber/type of bullet was recovered ? What was the angle of the trajectory through the house ? What sort of construction comprised the impact area ? What's the location of the house in relation to the shooting butts ?
Hard for a small department to finance a serious forensic investigation of this sort of thing. Is that what someone is relying upon ? |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
