I think that we need to establish that there is a difference between volley fire and "up in the air" for a bullet to go through a door and hit a woman in the lung would require almost horizontal shooting, while "in the air" usually means 10-20 degrees from vertical.
Firing a bullet in the air is the same as dropping one from a plane, and not likely to be fatal unless you still have that soft spot in your skull from when you were a baby.
