English term or phrase: stray bullet
Hi

A terribly sad incident comes to mind in this regard – about five or six years ago in Turkey a little boy was killed by a stray bullet in Yenifoça, where we used to live.

Alistair Grimason was killed by a stray bullet after a gunfight broke out in a cafe in the coastal resort of Foca.

(There is at least one inaccuracy in this article.)

Best wishes, and many thanks,
