Something about a spent bullet going through a roof doesn’t pass the smell test.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Just what do you believe roofs are made of? (I've seen many that are no more than some 1/4 inch plywood, a layer of tarpaper and a layer of asphalt soaked paper shingles.)
How much force does it take to pierce a skull? (A knife thrust is enough to punch thru a skull bone.)
How fast is a bullet traveling if it was fired, say, twenty degrees off of vertical? (A third of the muzzle velocity of a 7.62X39 is STILL 700 feet per second, at 1000 yards. Look up a ballistics table.)

To all you amateur CSI types. Get your sniffer checked. These things happen every holiday.

It isn't 'spent' until it's stopped and you can hold it in your hand. A cop near my place got out of the car to answer the call of nature, out in the middle of nowhere, and said it felt like he got whacked in the kidney with a 4x4. A .30 projectile was stuck in his vest right where he was hit. Pretty nasty bruise is all he suffered, along with a bad case of the willies. Heard no report, it was night and very quiet. Figured it came from a couple of miles away, at least. I believe this story. If a little kid isn't safe in church, then where is he safe? Reckless firearms use really frosts mmy ass.
