Preveza: Anxiety for 16-year-old injured with shotgun

A 16-year-old is hospitalized in critical condition at the University Hospital of Ioannina, after an accident with a hunting rifle in Filippiada. The minor, while alone, took his father's gun to chase birds and, under unclear circumstances, it fired, seriously injuring him in the head. The father was arrested for negligent firearm storage, but was released on the prosecutor's oral order. The incident has caused anxiety and police are investigating the circumstances.
