Specifically regarding this story, apparently some of the facts are in dispute. That the drone was hovering a few feet outside of the yard (http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/08/new-drone-telemetry-suggests-shot-down-drone-was-higher-than-alleged/ http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/08/new-drone-telemet...) and that the drone owners came in one car and cursed at the shooter (http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/07/kentucky-man-shoots-down-drone-hovering-over-his-backyard/ http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/07/kentucky-man-shoo...). Might be sloppy reporting. It would make the article less click-baity and doesn't paint the shooter in a great light. edit: I see someone else posted similar points while I was digging up the links.
