The doctors said he was about 1 cm away from being killed. Instead it was an in and out that he didn't notice (due to shock) until he got home and my mum noticed all the blood.
So it definitely could happen whether intentional or not.
I never found out if they were specifically aiming at my dad, only that they were looking to see if they could hit some cars.

I remember that news story. They shot a goose as well and had thrown it in a fcampfire they set
Glad your dad is OK. It was pretty scary to think about at the time.
