Indeed - shotgun blast is extremely messy. What I am wondering is why more people were not injured or killed. It is difficult to judge from the photo, but the distance from the fence to the table looks far enough that the shooter was not up close and personal with the target. A shotgun sprays a wide array that would have hit other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttthailand Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 A full choke shotgun will have a pullet pattern with a 12 inch diameter at about 15 meters. Or as gchurch259 suggested it could have been a pumpkin ball or rifle slug which would put a massive hole in someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwinchester Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Wifey's uncle was a local mayor several years ago. He is licensed to carry a concealed weapon because of threats he received whilst in office. Whenever there was a contract up for offer there were always several bidders but only one winner which is one way to make enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
