Could this have been a Sabot round? Looks possible from the photos of the damage though I would think there would be much more damage even if it was.

I'm leaning in the direction of someone who posted above. No Bradley's were visible, but that doesn't mean they weren't there. I think the damage could have been caused by a
M791 25mm round.

That's what the guy suggested that it was an anti-tank round if it was shot at all. Attributing it to the fog-of-war because he can see no reason to shoot a sabot round at a building and maybe it was a possible reaction to a shooting.

Ooh, pretty!
Description
Armor piercing Sabot Round (inert dummy) from the 120mm main gun of the Army and Marine Corps M1A2 Abrams battle tank. Approximately 20" long x 1.5" diameter.
NOTE: Due to the weight of this item a $4.00 surcharge will be added to the shipping method that you select. Note: the real Sabot round traveled a mile and a half per second!

A sabot round would leave just a small hole there would be none of the "peppering" that is evident on the picture posted.
