Pretty sure that happened off the coast of California, I recall reading about it in one of my Grandad’s Readers Digests when I was a kid in England 50+ years ago.

A guy in a boat said he was shooting at a shark, surplus .303 Enfield. The woman in question was driving a convertible, bullet struck her behind the ear such that the cause of death wasn’t immediately obvious.

IIRC

Pretty cool the shooting range lady herself chimed in on this thread.
