Man Killed Over Pine Straw

Francisco Batista was allegedly killed by Claudio Gutierrez for stealing pine straw for which he pays Ft. Bragg “thousands” of dollars to rake. The Gutierrez family says Claudio fired two shots in the air and when they came down two struck Batista:

WRAL—According to the family, Gutierrez spotted some men trying to steal the pine straw. He fired shots into the air. When the bullets came down, two struck 44-year-old Francisco Batista and killed him. …

If a man wasn’t dead, that statement might be funny. If you happen to be a ballistics expert, maybe you could explain the weird ballistic’s of those two bullets.
