Rare situation where the bullet richoting off a rock caused a spark. Of course, it'll probably take weeks of investigation to confirm.

What, was he using steel-core ammo or something? If not, I would certainly call it a rare occurance.

On the topic of rare occurrences, a golfer up at Arrowcreek started a fire a month or two ago when hitting a ball out of the "native area". His club hit a rock, which created a spark and started a fire. Even though they were right there trying to stomp it out, it got away from them. Luckily they had a cell phone and NDF was nearby and put it out before any real harm was done.

On the topic of fires, we live 3 houses down from where 4 houses were burned down in northeast Reno last month (caused by kids playing with fireworks). That was a scary day, I can tell you.
