    good god.

    well, if theres any light to the event, at least the man had the galls to turn himself in, or at least report that he did shoot around that time.

      It states that he was firing near a range. No backstop? 5 miles away? WOW!

          didn't mythbusters prove a bullet falling straight down couldn't kill someone? I don't think they used a .50 tho.

            that was for a bullet shot straight up. if this bullet came from 5 miles away, that means it was on an arc trajectory, and probably maintained enough velocity/energy to do something...

              No bullet from any rifle or handgun came from FIVE miles away.

              .50 cal bullets will travel barely over 4 miles at optimal angle.

              After 4.2 miles, we are talking cannon projectiles.

                    I have to say this guy is an idiot for thinking that his bullet hit her. No bullet is going to go that far, and if a .50 did make it that far, I can't see it having enough energy to go through the ceiling and injure her

                      I seriously doubt it is from his rifle. Even if sent in a trajectory which would allow it to maintain enough velocity to cause injury...it probably would have gone into the ground before reaching 5 miles.

                      Have to wait for ballistics....also the fact his guy thinks it might have been him means he was not using a backstop..

                          I would imagine that lady's arm is gone, if she had truly been hit by a .50 bmg



                          is that guy gonna lose his guns if ends up a convicted criminal?

                              At that range? Massive velocity will have been shed, and then it had to punch through the RV (probably deforming a bit in the process) to get to her. I doubt it'd have taken the arm off considering those factors, assuming it really did come from 5 miles away.
