School being shot up before it opens (www.fox4news.com)

A nearby school has just finished construction and is planning to open next week. However, it's already been struck multiple times by bullets escaping a shooting range a mile or so away. They've released notices telling people to avoid one side of the building due to the stray bullets and adjusted activities to the late evening when the range is closed.

After asking the range to improve it's quality so that this doesn't happen, the shooting range apparently told them to pound sand. Now there's a big lawsuit trying to force this shooting range to actually stop the bullets being fired so they don't kill children because they refuse to do anything.

More put an upper stop on outdoor ranges as well stop high shots don't matter. The Swiss have a range that's designed so safe they're approved to shoot across and above an active highway.

If it were a noise complaint I'm with the range because they existed before the school. That said if it's hitting the school it means your range is profoundly unsafe that shit wouldn't fly at a residential range let alone a commercial one and at that point I'm with the school even if it was dumb to choose a spot across from a gunrange.
