In 1991 during Gulf War, a bug in an American Patriot Missile failed to intercept an incoming Iraqi Scud missile which in result hit it's intended target and killed 28 soldiers and injured around 100 other people.

Seems unfair to blame it as software killing people. Going to war killed people and software failed to prevent it.
