Fatal hunting accident: shock in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania! Hunter dies from bullet from 200 meters!
A 48-year-old hunter was fatally injured in a tragic hunting accident in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The incident occurred during a group hunt near Mustin in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district. According to initial reports, there was a shot from a perch 200 meters away that hit the victim in the neck area, whereupon he died on the perch.
The public prosecutor's office has already started the investigation and is initially assuming an accident. A 50-year-old hunter, who was also present at the time of the shooting, is being investigated for negligent homicide. This hunter fired only one shot at the time of the incident, as it was already dark. A total of four hunters were present during the hunt, all of whom came from Lower Saxony. The hunters' use of night vision goggles is being investigated because it is unclear whether they played a role in the accident.
Investigations and further information
The police and an emergency doctor were alerted immediately after the shot, but were unable to help the injured hunter. The hunting party is currently being thoroughly interrogated to gain further information. The autopsy of the killed hunter should provide additional information about the type of gunshot wound. According to the hunting association head Henning Wetzel, both an accident and an intentional act could be considered. In general, it should be noted that hunting is subject to strict regulations, but not all hunters always adhere to the regulations.
These incidents raise questions about hunting safety and regulations. As the NDR news agency reported, the hunt on the edge of a forest near Ruchow, also in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district, was a defining backdrop for this fatal incident.
In summary, this incident reinforces the discussion about safety measures during the hunting season and calls for a detailed review of the circumstances that led to the fatal shooting. Further information is available at np-coburg.de and ndr.de to find.
