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.
Especially if the bullet doesn’t full stop into the target or a barrier behind it.
@LyD@lemmy.ca points out that the barrier had nothing to do with it.
1oo% true. and yet… who would build a a base ball park right next to a gun range?! not saying they are at fault, but like …really? there must be something i don’t know, like was it an indoor range?
@LyD@lemmy.ca points out that the barrier had nothing to do with it.
The outdoor range points away from the baseball field.
i mean ok, i get it. but OOF. i see also that the shooting wasn’t even at the gun range. still seems like a weird place to constantly hear gun fire during your kids little league game
Far west of Houston? All those kids are used to guns already.
Americans continuing to blame the kids who are being shot at, or absolutely anyone who had anything to do with it EXCEPT the gun nuts, tick, I had that on my bingo card for this thread.
These schools are letting woke kids walk in front of bullets.
um no? i don’t think kids are choosing the locations of shooting ranges nor baseball dimonds… is that why people are down voting? because they took my issue of building locations as if the children are at fault? crazy
Which one was built first?

Sounds like they are getting charged
The Waller County Sheriff’s Office said it was now pursuing dangerous conduct charges against three people suspected of firing off guns nearby.
“Dangerous conduct”. wtf, I hope that’s a felony, but it really sounds like slap in a wrist like crossing the street not in the crosswalk
Sometimes prosecutors who want to charge someone with multiple charges pick the easiest one to get an indictment on first. That lets them hold the guy / force him to post bail while they work on other charges.
All too often the only justice in the us is a personal injury lawsuit, so hopefully it makes that an open-shut case
OH Texas. That explains it.
Coming at you every mother fucking DAYAYAA!!!
Everybody born in the land of the free ™ ©️* knows this is no place for a ball park, but instead it’s perfect for a school yard.
*Conditions apply
Sounds like they were playing at Charlie Kirk memorial field
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?
Same people who build summer camps for children in a known active flood plain.
Foresight is leftist, comrade.
Or a daycare next to a four lane stroad, with the playground on the side that faces the road.

Before opening this article… Let me guess? Texas
Update: Yep Texas
This is the most 'merican thing I’ve read all day
This was texas, why didn’t the good guys with guns fire back.
They did.
Fuck that coach! /s
Coach injured by gunfire that crossed into baseball diamond
what an American sentence
Americans?
Americans.
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.
You might be safer since at least gun ranges try to keep things contained. If this is really just a bunch of yahoos blasting away “in the woods”, the only way to prevent it is to address gun “culture” and availability.
Starting with criminal charges. I haven’t seen an update but hopefully the shooters were arrested and face charges. And no, claiming an accident shouldnt be an excuse when there is reckless disregard for human lives
