The story is so implausible you have to assume the sheriff's department is complicit in covering up whatever it was that actually happened. No competent LEO is going to believe it.
First off, the cartridge had to roll off the bench top. Rimmed cartridges like .22 rimfire don't easily roll off tabletops, unless they're right by the edge.
Next the cartridge had to hit concrete hard enough and at the right angle to ignite the primer. I suppose it's possible, even from a three foot high shooting bench, but it wouldn't happen one time in a thousand.
Assuming the cartridge actually went off, it still had to send metal far enough into the woman's leg to require a visit to the hospital. Basic physics says the bullet isn't going to go anywhere, so you have to assume the woman was hit by the cartridge case and was wearing short pants. In all, it is possible, but the odds it actually happened are right up there with my odds of winning the lottery. And I've never bought a ticket.
Here's an alternate story:
The woman and her boyfriend go to the range. The boyfriend accidentally shoots her, which means a trip to the hospital. Boyfriend is not happy about this, nor is the range owner, since gunshot wounds are automatically reported to the police. Range owner and boyfriend put their heads together with the sheriff's deputy, who happens to be a buddy, and come up with this absurd story that gets both the boyfriend and range owner off the hook.
