I read an article in Reader's Digest years ago called "The Bullet From Nowhere."

A guy was driving across a long causeway bridge in NJ, and crashed, DOS.

The autopsy revealed a .22LR in his brain, through the temple. His car window had been open only inches.

For a while they thought it was a gang hit, or a a driveby, but he had no enemies or mob or gang connections at all.

Finally they connected it with a report of "kids shooting guns" in a backyard a half mile of so away. The shot sailed into the sky, and came down exactly through that open window of the speeding car exactly into that guy's brain and killed him. (Or the crash killed him, either way he was dead.)

Sometimes, it's just your moment to die.

I remember a story just like that in Reader's digest. The shooter was firing at sharks off the coast with a .303 and he hit a woman who was driving along the coast. The bullet had just enough energy to hit her behind the ear. The police said if she had her window up, she might not have died.

The shooter was tracked down and arrested where he worked at a car repair shop. He had read the reports of the girl but he didn't know that he was the killer until the police showed up.

I don't recall the name of the article.

We had a guy driving out on the west mesa of Albuquerque get one in the head a couple years back. A richocet over the backstop of an outdoor range.
