Do they have to shot a designated area so they know where the bullets are going to land? If they don't then do the bullets just become stray and can fly anywhere and if so has there ever been a case where somebody died from a stray bullet because of this tradition?

They use blanks. That means there is still the explosion and noise of the gunpowder but no bullets actually come out.

The Armed Forces use blanks when performing a Twenty-one Gun Salute. Usually seven men firing three shots each. Blanks are cartridges that contain gunpowder, but no bullets so there isn't a projectile that actually emerges from the barrel of the gun.

The bullets fired during a 21 gun salute are blank and there are no bullets.

They use blanks, if it wasn't then the bullets would eventually come down and possibility of causing harm

They use blanks. The bullets go nowhere because they are still back at the munitions factory.

They fall into the heads of the families nearby.
No just kidding. They are blanks. It would be very dangerous to fire live ammo into the air.

They use blanks, we have common sense here unlike the middle east where they like to shoot up in the air and kill bystanders

They use blanks, similar to the mind of the questioner.
