Why would a shot need to be fired? Tammy wasn't home and their neighbors didn't know about his text. Most neighbors were probably at work on a Monday morning so they wouldn't have heard anything anyway. Some were interviewed recently and nobody mentioned hearing shots from the property or seeing a bonfire that day.
Probably in case Tammy mentioned it to neighbours or family who lived nearby. The neighbours did actually mention bonfires and enabled LE to get the search warrant. This article mentions the neighbour and the bonfires and also has a useful overhead view of the property which shows where the gunman could have accessed a road after running behind the property.

Vallow and her husband are alleged by family to have been part of a "doomsday cult."
A number of people close to the couple have died under mysterious circumstances – including
Tammy Daybell, Chad's ex-wife, and Charles Vallow, Lori's former husband.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Charles' ex-wife, Kimberly Friedmutter, revealed
she believes the kids' bodies are evidence that her former husband was murdered.
"I was absolutely devastated when I saw the news that they had found remains of the children," Kimberly, 57, who lives in Las Vegas, told The Sun.
"It kills the hope that there was any chance of all of this being a terrible mistake."
Charles was shot dead last July at the age of 52, by Vallow's brother Alex Cox.
The case was determined to be self-defense – and Cox died of "natural causes" in December.
Kimberly added that she believes the discovery of the kids' bodies "confirms a hundred percent" that Charles was murdered.
"It has really now become very scary and very evil and very wrong," Kimberly said.
Matthew Price, a neighbor of Daybell's, revealed that several large bonfires lit in the fall – and then again "probably less than a month ago" –
may have led to the discovery of the bodies.
Price said he gave the information on the bonfires to the cops, which he said he was told allowed them to get a search warrant to search the house and a nearby field.
Neighbor says Chad Daybell ‘acted differently and had big bonfires’ before bodies of ‘cult mom’ Lori Vallow’s kids were found.
