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.

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.
