[font=arial, helvetica]JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) - A bullet fired in the air during a Ku Klux Klan initiation ceremony came down and struck a participant in the head, critically injuring him, authorities said.

Gregory Allen Freeman, 45, was charged with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment in the Saturday night incident that wounded Jeffery S. Murr, 24.

About 10 people, including two children, had gathered for the ceremony. The man who was being initiated was blindfolded, tied with a noose to a tree and shot with paintball guns as Freeman fired a pistol in the air to provide the sound of real gunfire, Sheriff Fred Phillips said. A bullet struck Murr on the top of the head and exited at the bottom of his skull, authorities said. Freeman fled the ceremony but was arrested near his home, authorities said. He was released on $7,500 bail. AP-ES-11-24-03

I have to say that I think one of the dumbest things about the Middle Eastern cultures is the practise of firing weapons into the air for celebration, and it seems very fitting that American Klansmen seem to enjoy it as well.
 
Also the awesome case where a guy discovered that his friends were going to throw him a surprise party at a cabin out in the woods. So he showed up early with his shotgun and fired a round off into the air when they arrived. Then he marched proudly out to see their shocked expressions, tripped, and blasted like four of his friends with ye ole scattergun.
 
there's several cases a year of ecstatic wedding party guests in the Middle East tripping mid-firing stream, so the AK-47 suddenly becomes not pointed upward, but...at the crowd. many deaths ensue.
