George Clark writes: … Shortly before noon today N5254J was shot at while on base leg at Airnav:KGDM. The student pilot and an instructor heard a pop and saw fuel draining from the left wing. After landing at GDM, it appears as though a bullet punctured the left wing and tank causing the fuel to drain from the low point in the wing.
