Since you weren't actually there... I would make darn sure said family member didn't happen to shoot at something Going to the shooting spot or didn't go for a wee wander and fire a shot somewhere you haven't considered, e.g getting a wounded bird or something. Otherwise it's pretty clear cut, but nothing is ever that clear cut...
Also.dont bring the how wide the spread would have been argument into it... that just discredits the original argument as you are saying it's impossible for a single pellet to hit the roof based on distance
