Horrible case in the Türk barracks in Spittal (Carinthia): A 21-year-old recruit died on Tuesday evening after being shot in the chest. The shooter was arrested.
The 21-year-old soldier was hit by a projectile from the service weapon of a soldier (21) and was fatally injured. It is still completely unclear how the terrible incident could have happened: was the shot fired from the Glock with multiple safety features, was it an accident?
The shooter – a 21-year-old soldier – was temporarily arrested on Monday. “Basically two parts are being investigated: man and machine,” Colonel Michael Bauer, spokesman for the Ministry of Defense, told “Krone”.
“A weapons technical investigation will also take place. However, a shot cannot fire by itself, that is, without the influence of a third party. That has never been the case before,” Bauer explains. The investigation into the crime is still ongoing and is being conducted by the police. The federal army has formed an investigative committee to support the case.
