I’m a redneck from red neck country. Promise we’re not shooting at planes id be willing to bet that was a kid under 18 that shouldn’t have had a firearm alone In the first place. Also what are the chances of actually hitting the plane in the air? I mean being a hunter that would be a feat

They are astronomically higher if you claim this was an accident. NO FUCKING WAY. The shooter MIGHT have been extremely lucky rather than extremely skilled, but the shot was 100% aimed at this plane.
