In this case it seems one of the "perpetrators" was found "on site", and it was a "big 'un", so no need for DNA testing.

But somehow, this one reminded me of another case, where the flock of birds that was hit (by an Electra?) consisted of starlings, that penetrated the structure like bullets, rather than just making a huge dent.

Somebody may still have a link to the pics of that incident.
