Where do bullets go when you do that? I can only imagine they don't make it into space and come back down sooner or later...has anyone ever been killed by a 'warning shot'? Do they slow down too much to be dangerous? I've always wondered this.
Unless they've been fire straight up. As in precisely straight up, which most people who shoot up don't do.Then it technically wouldn't kill someone if hit because of the lost energy due to gravity combined with the fact that bullets don't have that high of a terminal velocity.
That said, there have been reports of people killed as a result of "celebratory" shots. Which are pretty much the same thing, and are also illegal to do in most states of the US.
