Serious accident in Vienna: 14-year-old injured after being shot by a soft gun
A shocking incident occurred in Vienna-Favoriten when a 14-year-old boy was injured by an accidental shot with a softgun. On Friday, September 27, an accident occurred during a soft gun game in which a steel ball hit the student, causing serious injuries to the eye area. This led to the boy having to be admitted to the Donaustadt clinic, where the projectile was successfully removed.
Police were called to the clinic a few days later to investigate the incident. It was initially unclear how exactly this injury occurred. During the investigation it turned out that a 13-year-old friend of the victim was playing with the soft gun when a shot suddenly went off. The shot hit the 14-year-old directly in the eye, causing a medical emergency. The doctor who treated him had to ensure that the projectile was removed from the eye to prevent further damage.
Investigations are ongoing
The matter now has serious consequences for the 13-year-old, who was reported as a result of the incident under the Vienna Youth Protection Act on suspicion of serious bodily harm. Investigations are continuing to clarify all the circumstances surrounding the unfortunate incident. Officials are taking the incident very seriously and want to ensure that similar accidents are avoided in the future.
Incidents like this shed light on the dangers associated with improper handling of toy guns.

In this case, the details are still unclear, but it remains to be seen what additional information the investigation will uncover.
