It may have been a low % shot, but the risk of return fire is nill. At least from the targets.
I keep thinking about this and it keeps getting weirder. Fred drops dead from a gunshot wound. They start looking around for who ever shot Fred. And then they hear the gunshot, if they do at all, and think it's a second shot. And more likely, the gunshot would have faded so much in that time, they would have written it off as not associated with them.
If you start think in relative distances, it gets even more weird.
This is the length of a long international runway (Side note, the wikipedia page for runways in enjoyably highly detailed.)
This is roughly the elevation change from the summit of Everest to Base Camp.
It's the length of the National Mall in DC.
It's just shorter than a lap of both Daytona and Indy speedways.
It's 1/3 of the depth of the Challenger Deep.
3 times the height of Angel Falls.
4 times the height of the Burj Khalifa.
6 times as tall as the CN tower.
