Summary
A woman in Denham Springs, Louisiana, was struck in the leg by a stray bullet while watching fireworks — a projectile that ricocheted off pavement and traveled miles from its origin. She still keeps the bullet as a chilling reminder of how unpredictable and deadly celebratory gunfire can be. With over 100 people injured or killed annually by stray bullets in the U.S., and rising incidents, local authorities are sounding the alarm. The police chief warned that firing guns into the air is illegal and deadly, as bullets follow unpredictable paths — and stressed that fireworks are also banned in the city. He urged everyone to celebrate safely, protecting neighbors and communities from preventable tragedy.
