Incident in Carinthia

New statements: Why a hunter shot at soldiers!

Since September, people have been puzzling over how a confrontation between a Carinthian hunter and German soldiers in the forest could escalate to such an extent that the woman took up arms and fired. After extensive questioning by the public prosecutor's office in Klagenfurt, it now seems clear what happened and what went wrong!

It is a balmy September evening when a 68-year-old Carinthian woman watches the game from her high seat on her own property in a forest near Friesach. But instead of hares and deer, she first sees strange light signals, then men in camouflage suits standing a few meters away at the fence. There are various versions of what happened in the minutes that followed - but they all paint a picture, as confirmed by the public prosecutor's office in Klagenfurt.
