Nope, apearantly this happens everywhere.
Women hit by stray bullet
Quote:
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- A NASCAR fan in her recreational vehicle at Texas Motor Speedway was wounded by a stray bullet after someone apparently fired a gun into the air, police said.
A bullet suddenly pierced through the motor home's roof Sunday morning before the Dickies 500 race, hitting a woman in the right arm, relatives said.
"She immediately (screamed), 'I've been shot. I've been shot.' She took off running out the door," her son-in-law Bobby Cook told Dallas-Fort Worth television station KTVT.
The 62-year-old woman, whose name was not released by authorities, was taken to a nearby hospital with a "significant wound" and was listed in stable condition, police Lt. Paul Henderson said Monday.
The bullet is believed to be a rifle round and appears to have been fired from a long distance because it penetrated the roof at a slight angle, Henderson said.
He said he did not have information on whether investigators had any suspects.
Some 40,000 fans in about 10,000 to 10,500 recreational vehicles camped at Texas Motor Speedway for the weekend's races, said TMS spokesman Mike Zizzo, who declined to comment on the shooting.
The speedway does not release attendance figures for any races at its nearly 160,000-seat track.

nascar has nothing to do with it. dont forget it was in texas. it was a rifle round, hitting the roof at a shallow angle. it could have been fired MILES away, pointed up into the air, arcing up and into the RV. the race has nothing to do with it. try not to be so snap judgemental

Yup. And although there was all kinds of partying and debauchery going on, I'm happy to report that I wasn't shot, accidentally or otherwise.

The title was meant as a joke. If you took offense to the title, I'm sorry.

I've gone to Pocono for the past 3 years and it's nowhere near as redneck as most people think.

That's why we leave Monday morning. Little to no traffic getting out. Sit back with another beer and watch the RV exodus.
