Indeed, very much a Rule 4 violation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Cooper#Firearms_safety https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Cooper#Firearms_safety).
The 2nd one of bird shot landing in his back yard isn't such a big deal, it wouldn't be at a high velocity by that time, but there's absolutely no excuse for it, skeet shooting is not an impromptu activity vs. a foolish opportunist shot at a drone. And the first incident, which sounds a lot more serious, ought to have resulted in a discussion, if not further action.
