Pretty slim in the US or most of Europe and Asia. If you are in Africa or the Middle East you would have a significantly higher risk. Still relatively small though, you're much more likely to die in a car acccident than from a random gunman.

Russian Roulette is fatal. If say you used a six barrel gun (a revolver for example) with one bullet, you would have a one in six chance at being shot! That's about 17% of the time, and the odds raise higher if you insert more bullets!

What is probability of a shot child?

If you mean the odds of a child in the US being shot- actually, very low- and has been getting lower for several years. Some groups with a political agenda claim there are more deaths from children being shot than there are ALL deaths of children- so check your sources carefully- and see how they define "Child". Assuming child means a human under 18 years old, there about 74.5 million of them in the US (some groups consider a 26 year old to be a child) The FBI Uniform Crime Report shows 454 murders of children, with about 20% being shot. That is about 1 in 818,000. However, the odds of a child being shot goes up if you live in a high crime city, belong to a gang, or commit criminal acts.
