I doubt if anyone could resolve that now. But it is most unlikely that a single ack-ack gun targeted a specific bomber, nor was fire indiscriminate. Carefully planned rectangular patterns of shells, known as box barrages, were shot to a specific height by up to ten batteries of four 88mm guns per battery all controlled by a single predictor. This was a very effective method.
