According to an article in the AZ Star, 70 bats were killed and even more maimed with a BB gun.
Here is a quote from the article, which describes the trauma these bats suffered:
Necropsies showed damage to the 15 bats ranged from mild to severe, with seven fractured wings, one spinal fracture, one leg fracture, two “through-and-through” entrance and exit wounds on opposite sides of the body and four cases of generalized wing trauma.
A reward of $750 has been offered for information leading to an arrest in the case.
