Hunter misses deer, shoots bullet into Swedish house
A Swedish hunter missed a deer and shot directly into a house where people were present. Police are investigating the incident as creating danger to others. The shooter failed to consider what was behind their target before firing.
A Swedish hunter aimed at a deer but missed completely. The bullet flew straight into a nearby house where at least one person was present. Police now suspect the shooter of creating danger to others.
The resident immediately alerted authorities when the sudden bang echoed through their home. Officers responded quickly to the scene in Sweden.
Police spokesperson Ola Österling explained the investigation process. Officers checked the resident's background to determine if someone had targeted them specifically.
They eventually identified the shooter through their investigation. The hunter had focused solely on the deer without considering what stood behind the animal. The bullet missed its target and entered the house instead.
Hunting accidents like this highlight the importance of proper firearm safety. Swedish hunting regulations require shooters to always know what lies beyond their target. This incident could have ended much worse given the bullet entered an occupied home.
Sweden has approximately 300,000 licensed hunters in its population of 10 million. Hunting season for deer typically runs from October through January across the country.
