Perhaps someone entered via the portal. Then fired the round from inside the home. I say look for the bullet behind your neighbors home…
On a more serious note holy crap! That’s just disturbing. Is it possible you were the recipient of some accidental indirect fire from the other side of the hill?
Hey…just people enjoying their 2nd Amendment rights. What’s the big deal? 
If we’re talking about many hundreds of yards, you could have a bullet drop of a degree or more depending on the type of gun and bullet. A pistol’s trajectory could possibly account for the divergence from the line of sight you describe.
That is fuckin’ scary. I hope the police will be keeping an eye on the place for a week or two. And I genuinely hope it’s idiot fire and not an angry student or something - that sounds so horrifying. Best of luck - I hope you get a lock on the perp, volley back some .30-06.
Well, that’s frightening.
Our family cottage was once broken into and shot up quite deliberately. They shot through every window and most of the decorations. The bastards even lined up the cooking pots and shot through them.
At least they didn’t burn the place to the ground.
I think I know what happened. The shooter flipped through a phonebook and dropped his finger on a name at random.
“Silenus. Sounds like a typical bastard.”
Well if it came from up high, are you sure we can rule meteorites? Tiny meteorites? Perhaps a teeny-tiny Tunguska thingy that destroyed itself on impact?
Wait, maybe, just maybe, the near miss with the Green Lantern wasn’t accidental. It may be a clue. My suggestion is to look very carefully for green rings, possibly with a summons to fight for justice and avoid anything yellow or wooden.

For shame, lieu! Surely you know that the polite thing is to offer to safeguard it yourself!
silenus, that sure sucks. It doesn’t seem likely that it was someone you knew, though – surely they wouldn’t just randomly fire one shot at your house? You’d expect it to be at you, or at least several shots. Seems like accidental fire.
So, did Hottie McDeputy come back or give you a call? (not in your dreams, of course)
Maybe he should be taken into “protective custody”? Yeah, that’s it! :eek:
Well, if there’s a hole in your carport roof and a hole in your wall, but no round in your house than the answer is obvious.
THE SHOT CAME FROM INSIDE YOUR HOUSE!!!
I mean, you do own guns, right? Does anyone have acess to them besides you, that could have had a misfire while you weren’t there?
Do the cats know the combination to your gun safe? They may have been plotting against you!
Actually I hope it IS someone angry at silenus! I’d hate to think there are people just randomly shooting at people’s houses for no reason!
sneaks up and silently steals away with the Scotch
(What? I’m just keeping it safe!)
“…With Liberty and justice FNORD!” Get it right, you Human Target, you!
Glad you’'re safe.
Good point.
There was a dumb fad a coupla years ago where people’d stick fake bullet hole decals to their cars. Also, FWIW, Vegas is where Tupar Shakur was shot and killed, so I could see the locals being more prone to doing so.
