Coming at you every mother fucking DAYAYAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Offer solutions please, not more criticism. Your divisive, reductive meme highlights the problem described in OP's article but does nothing else. Please be better.
Solutions to the field where they shoot guns or to Texas? The field is easy, force them to build a dirt rampart around where they shoot. Texas, not so sure.
Build a dirt rampart around Texas?
With politeness and respect, I wasn't talking to you :)
Who builds a gun range in a way that bullets can escape if shot from appropriate positions?
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.
The article says that the people who were shooting weren't on the shooting range property, so it was probably just some morons shooting guns in an unsafe location who and direction who can't be bothered to use the shooting range. Hopefully the range, were they to actually use it as intended, has proper berms and backstops to keep any rounds from going an unsafe direction.

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.
In Texas. Of course.
They should just supply every Texan with bulletproof armour and helmets and make it mandatory that they should wear them at all times .... because there is a high likelihood that they might get shot either intentionally or accidentally.
As a non-American, it sounds like this should be the uniform issued at birth or at least when (if?) kids reach school age. I say “if” because vaccines are being outlawed. Technically body armour is just another kind of vaccine though, no?
Before opening this article... Let me guess? Texas
Update: Yep Texas
This is the most 'merican thing I've read all day
My area has a playground built to accommodate disabled children and the adjacent property is a gun range. There are also soccer fields. Imagine children going down the slide and swinging and kicking the ball around all to the sound of not-so-distant gunfire. The 200 meter range even shoots towards the soccer fields.
