2,14 miles @ 5,280 Ft per Mile = 11,299.2 Ft. 11299.2/1115 = 10.134 seconds. It would appear if it took the bullet 10 sec's to arrive, it & the sound arrived almost simultaneously. This will of course vary a small amount dependant upon how much the conditions vary from the standard, but it isn't going to be a large amount.

That 1 second per mile is not even playing in the same Ball Park. 5280' / 1115 ft/sc's = 4.735 seconds per mile of sound travel.
