This was on Columbia river between OR and WA, east of Mt Hood. They don't know if someone was being reckless or if they were being targeted on purpose. With enough alcohol + guns anything is possible.

They need to get a motor boat and mount a .50 cal on it and start shooting back. The .50 cal should take care of most local shooters. (semi-pink)

Only in America.
So sad that a first world country can believe that guns are an answer to anything.

Is painful to imagine that someone would be such a shithead as to send rounds towards swimmers and boaters. Makes me wonder if they correctly interpreted what they were hearing and seeing. The average person's idea of what it's like to be shot at comes from TV and movies. So what exactly did they perceive? The cracks of rounds traveling by at supersonic speeds? Little splashes? Far away bangs?

Article also states that this was during youth duck season opener. Granted shot doesn't travel that far, this could be the case.

Not the safest time to open water swim in an area where people are hunting. Almost a bad as trail running during firearm season.

That is insane. Mark Frost is a regular poster here on slowtwitch and a really great guy.
I'm so glad he's ok, and they catch the person responsible.

Is your clarification something along the lines of only in: America; war torn countries; or countries run by gangs, miltary coups or with no government at all?

If not, I would be interested to hear where else this sort of thing is not uncommon.
