The man who shot the 24-year-old reported himself to the victim and the police "Together with two friends, the man had earlier been shooting at cans outside the city. As they were driving along Sądowa Street, they were playing with the air gun. That was when the accidental shot occurred," says Grzegorz Górski of the Bolesławiec police. Officers are now checking whether this version is true and whether the man should have had a permit for the air gun model used.
