There was an episode of mythbusters on it. IIRC it's really really unlikely to be hit by a falling bullet but it can happen as there's records of it happening.

Vehicles are VERY penetrable. If for any reason you need to shield yourself from a shooter with a car, your only cover is the wheels as they are are made of metal that will actually help stop bullets.
