Yea! a couple of years back I heard something hit the roof on the night of July 4th. I went out to see if maybe it was some fireworks up there burning, but didn’t see anything. a couple of days later I went up on the roof to check it out and found a 38 or 45 caliber slug buried in the shingles. Man if that thing had hit someone on the head it would have went right on through the skull bone.
