Barksdale Middle School has initiated legal proceedings against Quail Creek Shooting Range after construction crews discovered bullet holes on the school property. The school district successfully petitioned for a temporary restraining order to halt operations at the range while safety concerns are addressed.

While the discovery of the projectiles prompted the immediate legal intervention, the specific origin of the bullets and the extent of the safety risk remain the subject of ongoing investigation. The school district maintains that the proximity of the range poses an unacceptable danger to students and staff, necessitating a judicial pause on the facility's activities.

Currently, there is limited information regarding the shooting range's defense or their response to the allegations. The legal dispute highlights the tension between established recreational shooting facilities and the rapid expansion of residential and educational infrastructure in the region. As the school is still under construction, the primary focus of the restraining order is to ensure the site is secure before any students or faculty occupy the building. Further hearings are expected to determine if the restraining order will be extended or if permanent safety modifications will be required for the range to resume normal operations.
