I wish there was something in the report more than ".22 caliber bullet". If it were definitely a .22LR round, then I'd have serious doubts about the possibility of its origin from the range. If it were .223 Remington/5.56 NATO, it's significantly more plausible, as those are generally somewhat heavier (55 grain up to 75 grain or so), and travel at much faster velocities of around 3000fps.

If it was a jacketed bullet, rather than lead/plated, then we could more certainly assume a higher velocity and it would mean the origin could more plausibly be from the range with sufficient velocity to cause the injuries sustained. Then again, they don't seem to be able to determine any kind of trajectory, and it really could have come from anywhere within a calculated radius. If trajectory can be narrowed down at all, I'm sure that information will come out in the suit.

The guy certainly does deserve some kind of satisfaction if the responsible party can be found, but suing the range because "maybe" it came from there isn't right. The person responsible for firing the round is the ultimately the responsible party, and I certainly do hope the person is found. I think that's unlikely to happen, given the large number of unknowns here.
