I don't know, in this case the shooter said that he watched it come in and as soon as it stopped he shot it down.
Sounds like he had the shotgun at hand. So very little hovering time over his place.

The height discrepancy is an issue.
Is 200 feet in range for a shotgun using small shot?

I didn't see the part about the daughter in the news story .

This issue needs clearer guidelines so folks using drones know what the allowable limits are.

Seem like out of shotgun range would be a good height limit at least :-)
