Hunters suspected of shooting girl (6)

grosssaara - A 6-year-old girl was probably shot and seriously wounded by a hunter in the German state of Thuringia. The police are currently investigating the involvement of seven hunters who were in a forest area in the vicinity of the accident.

The 6-year-old girl was wounded in a garden in Grosssaara Saturday night when she was shot in her hip. At the same time there was hunting in the neighboring forest.

The police do not exclude that a hunter has accidentally touched the child. The girl has undergone surgery and is still in hospital. A projectile found in the garden is now checked to see if it comes from one of the seized guns of the hunters.

'We are deeply sad,' said the spokesman for the German hunting club about the incident. 'Everything must be done to determine the cause. Every accident is one too many, even though it is rare. Safety is a top priority in hunting. '
