It doesn't make any sense.

Shooting at a wasp nest with a shotgun doesn't make sense.

That one pellet might enter a bedroom still carrying enough velocity to kill someone doesn't make sense, unless the nest was really very close to the window and he was using buckshot.

Who fires a shotgun at or towards an apartment building? Was he trying to shoot it out of the rafters from the ground?

I think it doesn't make sense because you are under estimating how stupid people can be ;)

As for the last bit, I think the "shooter" was in his apt, 2nd floor. He could have been aiming down. I dunno though.

It sounds like he was shooting down at the nest from the second floor. The boy was on the first floor. And none of this makes sense. Almost had to have gone through a window. This is not the type of accident a normal person could have, the shooter has to be a little slow or not right in the head.

actually now that i've clicked on the link the site it takes you to says the boy is alive. The pellet hit him in the thigh.

"The boy's in the hospital but reportedly doing well"

In the movies and cartoons it's not a problem

The article said "the pellet". Rifled slug?
