A nearby school has just finished construction and is planning to open next week. However, it’s already been struck multiple times by bullets escaping a shooting range a mile or so away. They’ve released notices telling people to avoid one side of the building due to the stray bullets and adjusted activities to the late evening when the range is closed.
After asking the range to improve it’s quality so that this doesn’t happen, the shooting range apparently told them to pound sand. Now there’s a big lawsuit trying to force this shooting range to actually stop the bullets being fired so they don’t kill children because they refuse to do anything.

Yeah, shots hitting the berm just right can deflect like that, and there’s also situations where bullets can ricochet or get deflected during normal shooting in a manner that could cause them to travel that far.
If it’s happening with any regularity though, I would say there’s either a design issue with the range, or the people there are assholes
I would hazard a guess that yes, the range needs to raise the berm height and ban shooters who regularly shoot over it.
