The former, however, can still hurt you if you happen to be standing
or sleeping where it comes down. Locally, several innocent people
started the New Year with new holes in the roof of their houses or
cars. Last year (I believe it was), one woman was standing up
singing in church when a stray round from so-called "celebratory
gunfire" punched a hole through the window of the church and then her
