A British woman has died after being shot while on a wild boar hunt in northern France.
The hunting party were crossing a corn field in Goudelin, Brittany when the 67-year-old woman was wounded ‘above the heart’.
It was reportedly fired by a 69-year-old man whose rifle was mounted on his shoulder with the ‘barrel pointing towards the back’. She was rushed to hospital in Saint-Brieuc but could not be saved and died just after midday on Sunday, prosecutor Nicolas Heitz said.‘The hunters were advancing through a field of corn silage when one of them, a 69-year-old man, in circumstances yet to be determined, fired with his shoulder-mounted rifle, barrel pointing towards the back,’ prosecutors said.
Mr Heitz said the exact circumstances of the shooting are still unclear, but initial tests found the shooter was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs.More:
