Accident or intentional act? The public prosecutor's office clarifies the staging of the shooting
A shocking incident occurred in the Türk barracks in Spittal an der Drau when a shot from a 21-year-old guard's service weapon had fatal consequences. This tragic incident began about two weeks ago and has now led to the extension of the suspect's pre-trial detention, which was decided on Friday in a detention hearing. The defendant's defense attorney decided not to appeal the decision.
The circumstances that led to this fatal shooting remain unclear. The accused asserts that it was an unfortunate mishap. As a result, his comrade of the same age was seriously injured and died a short time later in the Klagenfurt Clinic as a result of his injuries. However, the appropriation of firearm use raises serious questions.
Public prosecutor expresses doubts
The Klagenfurt public prosecutor was skeptical about the accident theory put forward by the accused. According to the initial results of a ballistic report, there is a suspicion that the actual events do not correspond to the information provided by the guard. The report could indicate that the incident may have been intentional. The investigation is in full swing to further establish the background to this incident and possibly clarify responsibilities.
The situation remains tense as more information comes to light. The question of whether it was a tragic accident or an intentional act remains open. Details are currently sparse, however reports gailtal-journal.at that the public prosecutor's office is already working on a comprehensive investigative approach.
