Witness raised the alarm

Hunter (18) fired from a parked car across the road

An 18-year-old hunter was on a driven hunt in Flachgau and fired a shot from his parked car across the Köstendorfer Landesstraße. A witness raised the alarm. The police issued a weapons ban. 

The dangerous scenes took place on Saturday afternoon: The 18-year-old fired at least one projectile from his car across the oncoming lane of the country road towards an adjacent meadow. 

The police confiscated a total of four long guns from the young hunter, all of which he possessed legally. The 18-year-old was given a temporary weapons ban.
