Did you know that a bullet would fall back to the ground if you fire it in the sky?




13 y/o Noah Inman from Indiana has died just one week after a BULLET fell on his HEAD when he was playing basketball after someone had fired a bullet into the sky during pre-July 4th celebrations!!

He was playing basketball on July 1st when he suddenly fell to the ground..witnesses called an ambulance thinking he suffered a seizure but hospital workers discovered he had been hit by a falling bullet.

It is illegal to discharge a weapon within Hammond city limits as the case remains under investigation..

The police said "Unfortunately, this is a common action by many people who own guns in our city and they need to know this action has consequences and will be dealt with severely.

The family updated their GoFundMe page that set up donations to fund the hospital treatment and funeral expenses as they thanked the public for their wishes and prayers

It has since raised over $21,000...

Did you know that a bullet would fall back to the ground if you fire it in the sky?

Of course I knew it falls back to the ground. What, do some people think the bullet magically flies off into outer space?
Of course the person who fired it should be charged, he committed fucking manslaughter, how is this even a question?
I don't care if he knew that gravity exists or not, fuck him. If anything, charge him more harshly if he's so dangerously stupid that he thinks the bullet doesn't come back down!

The fuck is wrong with both of you? The only reason you'd charge the guy who shot is because it's against the law to shoot a weapon in city limits, but the fact HE FUCKING KILLED SOMEONE isn't enough reason?!

Reminds me of the little girl who was killed in her room many moons ago. Some kind of celebtraion was happening around town. People were firin their guns in the air and a bullet came down into the girls room and killed her while she was laying on her bed. Sad thing is the parents sent her there thinking she would be safe.

The fuck is wrong with you? If the legal discharge of a weapon results in an injury or death, you have no basis for criminal charges whereas the illegal discharge is automatically basis for charges.

Except no, it'd be a civil case if they were legally able to do so under these contexts.

You REALLY need to understand words before you toss them around. I've lost track of how many times I've had to correct your completely stupid misuse of something related to murder but this is probably the most egregious misuse yet. Murder requires INTENT to cause harm. However, whereas most people in this topic noted "manslaughter" (ie, "involuntary manslaughter"), which could be applicable, you've instead once again wrongly said murder.

However, if somebody was legally firing a gun into the air and the falling bullet killed somebody, that might instead qualify as a wrongful death civil suit.

Just because it's legal to discharge the firearm doesn't mean every discharge is legal. There are more than likely regulations on how you can discharge the firearm safely in a residential area and shooting it off into the air randomly probably isn't one of them.

First off, kinda academic since the discharge was illegal in this case. Second, this isn't the sort of thing that would be legally exempted if it were legal. Not everything that results in a death is criminal, which is why there's also civil liability.

Zeus thinks that because it's legal to drive a car, it is legal to drive a car into a crowd of people.
I mean, if it's legal in a state to discharge a firearm, it doesn't really matter where or in what context you do it, amirite?

You could potentially make the argument that this is criminal negligence.

At summer camp when I was a kid they would do a uhh... I forget the term but some military men would line up and fire their guns off (Camp was always around the 4th of july if you're wondering why).

They always made sure to fire towards the woods we had next to the camp, so as to avoid something like this but it still seemed pretty dangerous to me.

Anyways, legal or not, you can't be reckless with your discharging. Firing into the air is most definitely reckless.

Juggling knives is legal, should people not be charged for accidentally dropping one into somebody's throat? Of course they should. That's exactly what manslaughter charges are for. The only difference the illegality of firing a gun in city limits makes is whether the charge is Manslaughter or Criminal Negligence Causing Death (since it's not criminally negligent if it's not a criminal activity), as well as allowing legal intervention to get those idiots off the streets before an incident like this actually happens.

That's how I see it. Even if there was no intention to harm anyone, they still should have known that said bullet will eventually hit something or someone.

But then it gets back its velocity while falling. Its terminal velocity is going to be less than muzzle velocity, since air resistance is a thing, but bullets are specifically designed to be aerodynamic and minimize air resistance, so it's still going to be traveling pretty fast and capable of doing some damage.

Actually, yes. Not quite from the ground, but hail does get lifted and dropped multiple times before reaching enough mass to fall to the earth.

So if I fire a gun at a gun range and the bullet ricochets off an object due to a wild series of events and strikes a guy killing him, according to Zeus this is not manslaughter. I mean I was at a gun range using my gun, and obviously I was not aiming at the guy so at best apparently this is a wrongful death suit.
