Tragic accident marks the opening day of the hunting season. A hunter, FA, aged 65, accidentally shot his brother, aged 75, killing him unintentionally.
A third hunter was also lightly injured in the eye by a bullet exploded in the same shot: his condition would not cause concern and would not be serious.
The hunting accident took place this morning around 9.30, in the countryside between Agnadello and Rivolta d'Adda, in the province of Cremona where the two brothers, both with a passion for hunting, had gone out early in the morning and reached the area near to the Bissone farmhouse.
According to the first reconstructions, the two brothers were engaged in beating a hunting area above the bank of a canal, one opposite to the other. But precisely in such situations, something moved in the vegetation, in that particularly thick point, so the first hunter, believing it was a bird, fired a shot hitting the second in the chest. The intervention of 118 was immediate, but for the 75-year-old hunter there was nothing to do. The Carabinieri of Crema are reconstructing the dynamics of the episode and listening to the witnesses who witnessed the tragic hunting accident. The provincial police are also on site.
