The town’s 79-year-old gun club is closed today, after a stray bullet nearly hit a woman in a house a half-mile away.
A 9 mm round broke a double-pane window in the home of Alan and Margaret Norton on Heritage Trail near the Cohasset border at about 2 p.m. Saturday.
Margaret Norton had just walked out of the laundry room when a bullet shattered the window.
“If she had still been there, it would have hit her in the head,” Alan Norton said.
It isn’t the first stray bullet to hit a house in the cul-de-sac, which is home to dozens of children. The garage door of Mindi Connelly’s home, across the street from the Nortons, has been hit twice by bullets in recent years, Norton said.
The Scituate Rod and Gun Club is off Route 3A near Henry Turner Bailey Road.
“We want a guarantee that this never happens again,” Norton said. “It’s still kind of sinking in. It’s all kind of unbelievable that we were that lucky.”
Ron Rice of the club believes the bullet that hit the Nortons’ home ricocheted off a bowling pin, which are used as targets at the firing range.
“Clearly, by removing bowling pins in this range and any hard targets that could cause ricochets would be a step in the right direction,” Rice said.
The club has closed its range until its officers can meet with selectmen and police and find a solution.
Selectman Richard Murray said today that the club and town officials are “committed to figuring out just what is going on over there because of the obvious safety issues.”
Bowling pins as targets??? Are you fucking kidding me??? Who's brilliant idea was that?

Yeah, I guess they ran out of tin cans.
