To stray is to deviate from the direct course.  When a bullet strays from its course it can hit anyone who is in its unintended path.

On May 28, 2011 in Buffalo, NY,  a bullet was shot by Bangaly Chelley. The bullet missed its intended target and became a stray bullet. As Ansumane Kanneh was fixing his seven year old granddaughter’s bike, this stray bullet hit him.  This stray bullet killed Ansumane. Ansumane Kanneh was 82 years old.
