The drone, nicknamed “Angel,” was recording a live pigeon shoot on Sunday around 3 p.m. when investigators say it was suddenly struck by gunfire.

Methinks a better name would be "Skeet."

Won’t be long before someone markets “The Droneshot” of a calculated charge and load best for being a hand held anti=air round.

I would think a 19 gauge load with some of those small spools you use on a sewing machine wound up with Spiderwire or Spectra, they unreel and in theory would entangle the prop, OR...actual flak loads of a timed fuze that would send an airburst of .177 bbs out in a flak cloud.

Now a smart person with some fabrication skills can make air cannons that would launch netting, or revert to the old way of having barrage ballons tethered at different heights, paint them a sy blue haze and maybe the camera resolution won’t see them. Better yet they have a contact fuze on them as well with a hydrogen envelop.
