It's weird, this way it would be subsonic ammunition. Maybe another shot? Still crazy as fuck though! Where in the world things like this happen?

They said it was far away so it may have gone subsonic on the way. Especially small common bullets like .22 will lose speed relatively quickly as they fly.

The one that passes could be the next shot and OP is too panicked to hear the second bang.

Maybe some idiot shot straight up into the air?

It was quite a ways away.. This was in NH. I doubt it was intentional, but who knows.
