Shots Fired

Someone is shooting high. Or in the air to celebrate like you see on the news from other sides of the planet. They go up, but they have to come down. Like hail, the killing kind. Thanks for taking the time to shoot the shot and post the post.

James, Probably some yahoo shooting into the air some distance away. not the kind of thing you want to START an inspection with. 

You never know what will be found during a home inspection.  The one thing we do know is that the buyers will always be better informed when they have a professional home inspection as part of the home purchase process.

 Blooming for you!

Jim, troubling for sure... but the least worrisome? Wow... LOL.

Hi Jim,

I guess it better to find bullets imbedded in the roof rather than inside the house, but if I was you, check your insurance...;)

JQ, if the bullet was the least of it, I'd hate to be buying that place! Did they?

Jim that must be what we mean when we say the roof is "shot."  Also, I do think that a bullet falling at terminal velocity probably would only penetrate about that far.

Jim,

Great find. Got to love finding oddities like that. Now for really forensics figure what direction it came from ; )  Besides up!

Jim did you bite the bullet and recomment a kelvar vest for the house?

Interestingly there is sucha thing.

James who knows maybe someone to a shot at the last Home Inspector that was up there :) :) :)

I agree with Peg and Andrea - if that was the LEAST worrisome thing... Yikes! I'm glad you told the couple though - something they should know for sure. Did they keep the bullet as a souviner?

I am thinking that I better come out there and investimgates. This is a very serious incident and the game is afleet.

Well if you have paws for feet, I guess that explains all the typos Mister N.

Jim, Some neighbors that I inspect in, you would think I would find whole clips and the brass to go along with it.  Don't think I've ever found a spent bullet.  I have dug out a few that weren't spent though.

You inspectors do run into some of the most amazong things!

Clearly someone in reasonable close proximity with a relatively open line of fire to the house has fired the rifle or pistol in the direction of, not necessarily at, the house and that carried the bullet to the top of that house, where it imbeded the roof tile but not too deeply, where you found it.

Please eliminate Mr Butler's very rude comment. I do not like it.

Unusual that a bullet wouldn't penetrate further than that.  But stranger things have happened.  Maybe Oswald shot it from Dallas and it is the other "magic" bullet.
