Accident in Lustenau
Shooter seriously injured during shooting practice
A serious accident occurred at the Lustenau shooting range on Wednesday. An experienced markswoman sustained serious injuries to her face due to a defective weapon.
The 42-year-old woman was firing several shots at a target under supervision at around 6 p.m. when disaster struck. For reasons that are not yet clear, the bolt of her gun suddenly snapped backwards and hit the shooter in the face with full force. The impact was so strong that the hearing protection was literally shattered. The flying pieces of hearing protection subsequently hit the woman's brother, who was standing directly behind his sister.
The 42-year-old suffered serious injuries to her face in the unfortunate incident - she had to be taken to Dornbirn Hospital after first aid by the emergency doctor. Her brother, who suffered various injuries to his chest, also ended up there.
The exact cause of the shooting accident is still being investigated by the police.
