Seriously, what the fuck.
The entire god damn point of a shooting range is to be a safe place to shoot a weapon.
It's failing at it's one job.
There's an injunction now to keep them from using firearms capable of reaching the school.

I first thought this was an onion article.
You got a link to a story or something?
Of course a school in Texas would have an Imperial Star Destroyer.....
Ew. FOX.
That's pretty fucked up. I've been to a shooting range in my state and it I think they designed it so it's impossible for bullets to escape. I mean, maybe if you wanted to shoot through the roof you could manage it.
Outdoor range. Berm stop. Sounds like they just need to raise the berm height and kick morons off the range who shoot too high.
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.

Article instead of an anecdote?
Most American school ever
Can you not simply shoot into the shooting range to stop all the shooting out?
While nothing is too crazy to be true these days, this sounds wild even for God's Own Country™.
That’s just an US school being christened.
The new school doesn't show up on Google maps yet, but here is the distance between the range and school site.
I don't understand how this wasn't a problem before the school... That shooting range is just pointing at an apparent neighborhood with a small berm at the end of the lanes and then, just pasture?
Oh, well, this is Texas, they probably think catching a few strays will toughen them up. The Texas government hates its own people almost as much as they hate people from everywhere else.
I think the houses are far enough off the direction of fire that they haven't been hit, whereas the school is in the line of fire.
Or they've just been lucky?
Oh wow, the range directly faces the school.
Yeah, that's terrifying.
Damn yeah thats just directly north downrange lol
The legacy of our elders 🤣... zombie boomers 🧟
Theyre tenderizing the meat before they go for the full course.
