It's interesting that part of the story update shows they apparently were taking turns shooting at the victims:
"Liberty County Chief Deputy Ken DeFoor said Sheila Muhs fired a 12-gauge shotgun once, then handed it to her husband, who also fired once."

I'm curious about the range, though:
"Donald Coffey Sr. suffered a pellet wound in his right shoulder and his daughter, Destiny, suffered a wound to the elbow. The family friend, 30-year-old Patrick Cammack, was in serious condition Saturday with a head wound, Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center spokeswoman Alex Rodriguez said."
So that's four people hit in two shots, which suggests a fair spread, and thus a moderate range. The descriptions of the wounds are consistent with large buckshot. How far out is, say, a magnum 00 load effective in a typical shotgun? I know my 835 with magnum 00 will penetrate wood pretty well at 100yds, but it's hardly "typical" with a 28" barrel and turkey choke, and my only other 12ga is an 18.5" cylinder bore at the other extreme of the spectrum.
