A young girl was killed in Kansas City several years ago from celebratory gunfire...........I believe it was the 4th of July.............a shot into the air, hit her in the head on the way down.............there is now a state law banning such gunfire..........named after the young girl...........well, the box says that a 22lr can travel 1.5 miles......
When a bullet is fired in the air and comes back down, it has only around 150 miles per hour and 1% of the energy it originally had when fired1. Despite its small mass, a bullet can cause severe internal damage and even death due to its concentrated energy2.
I'm going with 'ricochet', or passed through a wall or window.
