Crossfire?
Every newspaper in Bangladesh usesz the word "crossfire" about incidents where some alleged criminals are killed when gunfire is exchanged between "GOOD" and "BAD" people. This action actually means a "shootout". When a third person, possibly innocent and unarmed, gets killed accidentally, we call it a crossfire death.
I read your daily everyday on-line. It hurts me when I see this particular terminology has been used ONLY in Bangladesh.
I would consider it a great honour if you do kindly give this matter some thought.
