A serious incident occurred on Sunday in the Andalusian city of Córdoba: a 25-year-old man was hospitalized with a severe gunshot wound. The event took place in the Dehesa Boyal nature area, located in the municipality of Villanueva del Duque. The young man was hunting with two others when the fatal shot rang out.
The victim was first taken to the Valle de los Pedroches District Hospital in Pozoblanco. He was later transferred to the Reina Sofía University Hospital in Córdoba, where doctors are fighting to save his life. His condition is described as critical.
Preliminary reports suggest the shooting was accidental. All the hunters involved knew each other, and the tragedy happened suddenly. Investigators are treating the case as a possible accident, but are carefully examining all circumstances.
Law enforcement officers responded at the scene. They inspected the area, interviewed witnesses, and seized the firearm for analysis. The investigation is now focused on establishing the exact sequence of events and determining whether any hunting safety rules were violated.
Incidents like this are extremely rare in Villanueva del Duque. Local residents are shocked and have expressed their support for the victim’s family. More information about the investigation and the young man’s condition is expected in the coming days.
