Head shot at the Oktoberfest: Woman at the shooting range injured!

In an incident at the Oktoberfest in Munich, the operator of a shooting stall was injured on September 30 after being hit in the head by a rifle. According to the Aicher ambulance, the woman fell into the shooting track of a guest while granting kneeling shelves. The emergency call was triggered and paramedics found the woman with a slight headache that had been injured by the ball of an air rifle. The treating trauma surgeon removed the projectile that had penetrated into the scalp, but luckily could not penetrate the skull.

The wound that was classified as not life -threatening had to be sewn with three stitches. After ensuring that all parts of the projectile had been removed, the woman was able to leave the medical guard independently. On this day, the Aicher ambulance provided a total of 207 patients, with 44 of them complained of minor injuries. This also includes this unfortunate incident, which, however, did not significantly impair the cosiness of the Oktoberfest. There are further details of the incident here .
