This is a tragic incident, but I'm still gonna say, "I told you so":

And I agree with E.Marquez: there's more to the story than a loose round actually launching a bullet with enough force to do the kind of damage described.

This is what the teenagers told the police, but they probably were trying to cover up something. At least that is my take on it.
I am sure that they will figure it out, but it won't make the news.

When they recover the projectile, it will be interesting to see if it has rifling marks on it.
