Have you ever fired a shotgun with birdshot in it?
Have you ever hunted?
Often when you hunt for doves or other fowl you spread out over a tract of land. Occasionally there is the possibility of pellets from another hunter hitting the area of your blind when they come back to earth or are deflected. It's akin to getting shot at long range from a BB gun. I'm just saying it's not like many uneducated, uninformed, or ignorant people would assume, that the guy got shot with a "bullet" that could've killed him. Without further detail, and knowing it was bird hunting, I'm just saying not to assume it isn't something very minor getting blown out of proportion.
If it is proven that he was 5' away from the guy and he still hit him then it's far different than if they were in blinds 100 yards apart and he got hit with pellets.
