    In 1991, a boy, Trey Cooley, was killed at a shooting range by a bullet that ricocheted from the outdoor range into the building he was in and hit him in the head. Forensic scientists were able to track the origin/path the bullet took, exposing the bad design of the range. It was later closed.

      My father was a police officer in the 80s and the exact same thing happened to him, except that he was hit on the knee.

      There is an episode of the show Forensic Files that covers this case and how they investigated it and determined what happened.

      There’s a lot of amazingly then another impossible thing happened in that video. Let’s call it for the final destination stuff it is – fate was after someone.

      I remember watching a documentary about a poor woman who’d been shot in the head while on a boat in a big city bay. They eventually worked out in the far distance some dickhead had been shooting at fish off another boat and one bullet hit the water at such an angle it skipped off and flew for miles across the bay. It hit the woman perfectly on her soft temple and killed her. They thought the bullet had lost so much energy if it had hit her anywhere else on the skull it wouldn’t have penetrated and she’d have survived. Insane set of parameters that ended with bad luck for her.

      I saw this show back in 1997 or 98 ..

      “Medical Detectives”

      I used to love this show..

      The kid didn’t want to go and his father persuaded him to go… Fuck … I still feel bad for the dad.

      This type of shit makes me nervous around guns and outdoor ranges.

      The misfires and the stray shots. Bullets can easily travel over a mile. And while safe when 1) rules are followed, 2) the gun is pointed in the correct direction of the target, and 3) the gun functions properly (no double shots, no misfires); if any of those three fail to happen, it gets so unsafe, so fast. Sometimes with deadly consequences.

      Imagine both sides of that. Just chilling on the inside of the range, sitting down, minding your own business.

      Then being the guy who fired it, totally not meaning to hit anybody. Probably don’t even realize it did. Even if you see the ambulance, why would you think it was your bullet? Probably some other guy at the indoor range.

      A totally confusing situation.

      for a foolproof range you have to consider all angles and penetration, even account for ricochets. have a 360° bubble around every spot the gun could be and then around every spot the bullet could strike

      There has to be some kind of science around stray objects always aiming right for the head, like something to do with the scale of the world or something.

      Yet another reminder that there is never a safe gun. No matter how much training or experience you have, no matter how many times you’ve done the same thing safely, a gun is a deadly weapon and can kill even when it seems impossible.
