Very interesting. And under-reported.

Can’t tell if what was used is an AK47 variant (generic “assault weapon”) or a Dragunov (which can be construed as an “assault weapon”, but is designed for sniping). I’m guessing the latter, as the distance was near exactly 600m.

What’s shocking is that involves what we may safely presume is an idiot driving up to a street-level open-access point, at 4 hours past sunset, firing 9 rounds, and hitting a residence window - _and_getting_away_, found only because the idiot _abandoned_his_car_, weapons included, about 2km away. No wonder the occupant is paranoid.
