It could have been short range direct fire, then a change in direction upon hitting the roof or a truss.

In order to fire directly at a roof you would have to be above it. If there are buildings nearby that are taller than the church it shouldn't be difficult to determine where the shot came from.

“In order to fire directly at a roof you would have to be above it. If there are buildings nearby that are taller than the church it shouldn’t be difficult to determine where the shot came from. “

I went over to Google and took a look at the church. It has a fairly steep pitched roof, not flat, so a shot could easily hit the roof from nearby. I know I could stand in my driveway and hit my roof if I felt the need. Once the bullet makes contact with roof, a nail, screw, knot in board, anything, it can turn the bullet any direction.
