Abstract

In this case report we describe a 24-year-old German KFOR soldier who was injured in the night of New Year's Eve 2009/2010 during the Kosovo Mission by a falling bullet in the right shoulder. The falling bullet was a full metal jacket probably shot during a "happy shooting" (celebratory gunfire) by a civilian.
