I thought "stray bullet" meant it didn't hit what was aimed at and just strayed off. This seems pretty deliberate. And for anyone who doesn't feel like reading the article, it's not happening in just Texas.

I read the article, but I don’t think it’s deliberate at all. There are 150M guns in the US, and lots of gun owners are morons. Episodically targeting Ohio, Texas, and California doesn’t seem like it would do much to benefit anyone.
