I don't fully understand this. I looked up the weight of a 9 mm as an example, and it was 9 grams, or for all you imperial people. 0.019 pounds. I mean, super light. What makes that lethal is the intense velocity of a bullet, but if a bullet of that weight is falling from the sky it wouldn't fall any harder than say, a piece of hail, or whatever its terminal velocity is....
For the same reason, dropping a penny from the empire state building won't kill anyone, it lacks mass to do so at speeds of gravity with drag (see mythbusters) This is a really freaky occurrence, especially as the bullet would have to slow down by penetrating the roof first. I don't get this at all... I would believe that a fired bullet ricocheted and killed him, but just falling, seems odd to me. But it's still sad.

I don't get this at all... I would believe that a fired bullet ricocheted and killed him, but just falling, seems odd to me. But it's still sad. I had exactly the same thoughts while reading this. Sounds more like a ricochet than simply a bullet coming back from above.Very sad story. Same thing almost happened to me when I was a kid...but the bullet hit my friend and not me. Went inside his cheek and came out at the other cheek. This happened during a wedding.He was standing right next to me. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

That's what I don't like about some New Year's eve celebrations, especially when idiots use guns to celebrate. Just terrible that a child had to die over someone's stupidity. [Edited 1/1/10 15:11pm] | |

There are some places I just wouldn't go during New Years Eve.
Like Georgia for example. To make a thief, make an owner; to create crime, create laws. | |

[Edited 1/1/10 15:11pm] Celebrate and guns shouldn't even be in the same sentence. It's sad that this boy died, and in a church too. | |

this has nothing to do with religious people..it has everything to do with idiot asses who think a gun is a big old firecracker to celebrate with. | |
