Erfurt In Thuringia, a six-year-old was shot in a garden. There was a hunt nearby. Currently, the criminal investigation investigates seven suspected hunters.
The investigation concerns a negligent badault, police said Sunday. At the time of the crime, the hunters would have traveled to a forest near the scene of the accident.
The six-year-old girl was shot in the hip on Saturday night in a small garden in Großsaara (Greiz District). At the same time, a hunt took place in the nearby forest. The police do not rule that a hunter accidentally hit the child.
The girl had been operated in the meantime. For further treatment, he is still at Jena University Hospital, as a spokesman said Sunday afternoon.
The projectile should bring enlightenment
A projectile found on the garden yard Sunday is now to compare with the rifles seized by hunters. According to the spokesperson, it can take several days, maybe weeks, depending on whether the weapons are different.
"We are deeply affected," said spokesman for the German Hunting Association Torsten Reinwald. Everything must be done to determine the causes. "Every accident is one too many, even if it's very rare." Safety is a top priority in the hunt.
According to Reinwald, there are strict rules that every hunter should observe. For example, it should not be pulled parallel to the ground, but only in the direction of the ground.
In addition, it is forbidden to shoot towards the street or the house. In addition, only one shot should be fired if an animal has been clearly identified. If a hunter ignores the requirements, the hunting license will be withdrawn. However, he could also come in search of ricochets, admitted Reinwald.
