Neither side is likely to forget this encounter in a hurry: German soldiers were shot at by a female hunter in a forest in Carinthia - the woman had felt threatened. The investigation has now been completed and the public prosecutor's office has decided whether to press charges.

Tempers ran high after this police operation: A 68-year-old woman had seen men in camouflage suits from her high stand in a forest near Friesach and thought they were terrorists or sheep thieves. The hunter fired a shot - only then did it become clear that it was a registered German army exercise. The soldiers were outraged and wanted the woman to be prosecuted. The investigation has now been completed.
