A .22 rifle can shoot about a mile. I didn’t see that they mentioned the caliber of the bullet.

More EXCERPTS:

A woman who was seated with the two victims wrote on Facebook that she was also “barely” grazed by the bullet.

She said she was with a group of teachers and was speaking with a co-worker when they heard a noise “like when you fill a water bottle with air and twist it and the cap comes off” followed by the ping of something hitting the metal bleacher.

“I felt a pinch in my back … sure enough I picked up a damn bullet,” said the post, which was accompanied by photos, including one of a largely undamaged bullet.

The question is, how much energy would the bullet have after a mile. A chart I found showed only 7 ft/lb. for a .22 lr.
