Fatal accident on hunting trip: Jäger shoots colleagues from 200 meters!

A tragic incident occurred on Thursday during a hunting trip in Ruchow, Mustin, in the district of Ludwigslust-Parchim, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. A 48-year-old man was hit by a floor and died at the scene. After initial investigations, the shot could have been given by a 50-year-old participant who was about 200 meters away.

The shooter used a single cartridge of a hunting rifle. The public prosecutor has started investigations into negligent killing and is currently assuming an accident. In addition, the body of the deceased hunter is to be autopsied. According to the authorities, however, no arrest warrant was requested against the alleged shooter, which indicates the assumption of an unintentional incident, as Bild reported.

This incident is in a larger context of hunting accidents. Another terrifying incident occurred in September 2023 when a 29-year-old hunter in Iserlohn killed the sleeping homeless Marina S. with two head shots. The hunter, who considers himself to be inadequate due to paranoia and schizophrenia, stands in front of the district court of Hagen on March 25, 2024 and is accused of murder from hedgehogs. He confessed and explained that he was targeting because the woman was moving, while his weapon was legal, as was legally owned, as on Deportation-der-jagd.de is.
