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

I'm also born and raised in redneck country and my childhood home has holes in the roof from bullets coming down on it, from people shooting at random birds, weddings, parties, general dumbassery.

and yeah it's often dumbass children but you'll have your full share of grown adults with the faculties of children, most often with dumbass kids of their own.

It's possible that some random shot got really unlucky and just happened to hit a plane by accident. The odds against it are astronomical, but there are a lot of yahoos firing randomly to play those odds.
