A 38-year-old man from Vedano Olona was injured from a gunshot: a hunting accident which took place around 8 on Sunday 14 October. His conditions are serious. It happened to Castiglione Olona, in the woods just north of the country.
The auto-medical, an ambulance from Malnate and the helicopter rescue, in red code, immediately intervened on the spot: the man suffered injuries to the face and neck. The 38-year-old was then transferred to the hospital by helicopter, at Sant'Anna di Como (the Varese emergency room was overcrowded at that time). Although in serious condition at the time of the transfer, it would not be life threatening.
On site there are also the carabinieri of the Castiglione station and of the Compagnia di Saronno, for the necessary investigations. AND it was his 66-year-old uncle who hit by mistake the 38-year-old nephew: hearing the noise in the undergrowth, he would have fired thinking that it was a pheasant. The man will be sued for culpable injury.
