This was texas, why didn't the good guys with guns fire back.
They did.
Fuck that coach! /s
There’s one near an elementary school in our fucking town.

Sounds like they were playing at Charlie Kirk memorial field
Same people who build summer camps for children in a known active flood plain.
Foresight is leftist, comrade.
Everybody born in the land of the free (TM) ©️* knows this is no place for a ball park, but instead it's perfect for a school yard.

There isn't even an actual gun range; just an empty field people are known shoot guns at. And the outrage seems misplaced that the baseball diamond should be shutdown instead of shutting down dipshits firing guns in the field next to it.
Yeah, if you're shooting a gun you are responsible for where the bullets end up.
Listed in maps as a shooting range... For the Katy police department...
Fuck The Police!
Shooting is America's real pastime after all.
I mean I have to give them this one, have you seen a game of baseball?
What a fucked up backwards country
People in a field shoot without reguard to what's in the direction of the bullets they are firing. Kids flee, a coach is shot and someone thought they should blame the baseball field builders lol. Mate if you fire a gun and there is any reasonable belief that bullet can strike something other than your target, you should be charged with shooting at that object.
To me that means attempting to kill that coach/kids.
If you fire a gun, you are 100% responsible for the bullet, full stop.
What if you're at a paid indoor range and your bullet goes through the back stop wall because the range cheaped out?
That's not what happened here, though, is it.
Never implied it was.
OH Texas. That explains it.
Who builds a gun range in a way that bullets can escape if shot from appropriate positions?
I am pretty sure this is the gun range and you're supposed to shoot in the direction of the blue arrow. That big mound of earth is where the targets would be and is supposed to catch stray bullets. Something tells me that redneck fuckery was involved.
Found it on Google maps, I think I was right.
It's frankly amazing that this very pertinent information you revealed after the briefest of Google searches isn't included in the "official" reporting.
Hey!
HEY!
Journalism is hard, ok?
jfc what a joke
JFC they were shooting uprange to make this happen
Supposedly the shooters weren't on that property at all.
They didn’t, the headline is shit and they shouldn’t have included that quote, because the gunfire came from a property that wasn’t the gun range.
But a Sheriff's Office spokesperson told Houston Public Media that the suspected shooters were actually not on that property during the incident.
The gunshots didn't come from the gun range at all.
