Always try to be aware of your “field of fire”. When taking my son out hunting, from the first time on, we discussed the directions of town, the highways and such, backstops, and what would be an acceptable angle of fire. Discussing “shoot or don’t shoot” scenarios is a good way to do it. People make mistakes. It’s in our nature. That’s why we should constantly try to remind ourselves.
At school “gunshots were reported” after the fellow shot at the coyote nearby. The reporter alleges, without any further discussion or detail, that “shots he fired at a coyote hit a school….”
I think the reporter made up the bit about bullet(s) hitting the school. There are no reports detailing broken windows, holes in walls, or books with perforations.
I think the guy shot at a coyote within earshot of a school and got in trouble for that, not for shooting into a schoolyard.
