How to you do a Risk Assessment for this?

In Australia the behaioural safety people have made laws so you don't have guns (except organised crime) so how do we assess for this if we are to believe the behavioural safety guru's?

A RAILWAYMAN has been hit by a bullet that ricocheted around the cabin of a freight train in South Australia's mid-north.

Police say the bullet struck the thigh of the train's observer at Tellowie Beach, near Port Germein, on the line heading north from Adelaide at about 10pm (CST) last night.

"The shot hit a light on the train near the driver's cabin, ricocheted into the cabin, hitting a control panel and then ricocheted again, hitting the train's observer in the left thigh," a police spokesman said.

"Fortunately the bullet had lost velocity and only caused bruising to the man."

After a search of the area, police arrested two men, aged 19 and 20, in a utility near Port Pirie.
