Just in case the people from your link in P&WA were reading it, I guess they felt it was better to make sure to spell it out very clearly.
 
Basic rule of thumb; any time you find yourself planning to play a practical joke with a shotgun, rethink.

As a part of the joke, it would have been even better if he had shot at something right next to everyone - just to really scare them.
