Painful end to a private “Christmas shooting” in St. Florian near Linz. Instead of the target, a gunman hit his friend. That didn’t happen on purpose, the unfortunate shooter had just behaved wrong.
The accident happened Friday night in a private shooting range in St. Florian near Linz, where a handful of friends gathered to pierce targets together. At around 10 p.m., a 57-year-old from Oftering forgot that he was pulling the magazine of a small caliber pistol to check that the chamber was empty. So there was a cartridge just before the barrel and the hammer was still cocked.

The gunner reached for another weapon and unhooked the hammer from his Glock 44, but had already turned. And immediately a shot rang out. The 22-caliber projectile hit a 42-year-old from Krenglbach in the hip. The injured have been taken to the hospital in Steyr, there is no danger to life. The shooter of the accident is being reported for negligent bodily injury.
