"Indeed, Jones watched as his beloved drone came plummeting straight down
onto the property of the Coalfield Seventh Day Adventist Church—right
next to a neighbor’s home, where young children were playing in the
backyard.
'It didn’t hit the ground as hard as it could have,'
Jones said. 'When it hit, it broke the left landing gear arm, snapped
the molding
off the Inspire. But it was still running. Didn’t damage batteries,
rotors were intact. Everything was fine, except the left rear motor with
a bullet hole in it.'
Jones became the fourth reported drone shooting incident that Ars has been made aware of in nearly two years."
If
you're going to fly your drone around your neighborhood, it might be
neighborly just to let your neighbors know, in case they might have an
issue. And be armed.
