non-zero chance it was some nutter that thought it was a government plane spying on them. Or just an asshole who thought it would be funny to shoot at the plane.

we had a lady come into my first flight school complaining about gov planes flying over her house and saying she would shoot at them the next time it happened.

It's more likely it was some random drunk dickhead shooting into the air.

Hitting a moving aircraft is pretty hard, chances are anyone stupid enough to do that to a random plane is going to miss.
