    Yeah, that doesn't add up. To get two kilometers out of a ricochet, it would have be arcing like artillery fire. At which point, presumably the body work of the car would stop or at least slow down the bullet enough to be nothing more than a (very) painful, but non lethal impact.

    Motorist hit in the head. Convertible top down ? Through an open side window ? On a motorcycle or scooter without a helmet ? Possibly died from the resulting crash from being struck in the head by the ricochet ? Too many unknown facts.

    Remember a few years back, that 10 year old girl that got killed from a BB that came through a screen on an open window ? And another child that was killed while sitting on a living room couch from a bullet shot at a street light across a park then passed through an exterior wall ?

    guy in a car, driving his wife to work, window rolled down because he was smoking.... Random. Now the interesting part: the 50 year old guy who died was a local green party member and had several clash with the local hunting club....
