Tragic what happened to the little boy.
However this seems strange to me. I wouldn’t think a falling bullet would have the velocity to penetrate a roof and kill someone.
I’ll have to do some checking.
A falling bullet won't kill you any more than a penny dropped from a great height. But a bullet still on its ballistic trajectory, still spinning, pointing forwards, is potentially deadly until it hits the ground.
Such deaths are very common in the Middle East. IIRC, a large number of people were killed after our liberation of Kuwait, just because of the celebratory gunfire. People tend to die at weddings over there too for the same reason.
I’ve seen one come through a tent roof and hurt a guy pretty bad, but not a wooden roof....Not likely IMO.
