Alessandro Fresu , the 22-year-old from Montresta who was seriously injured in the hunting accident that occurred on Sunday morning in the countryside of Padria, is in stable health.
The hunter, hit by a ricocheting bullet accidentally fired from his companion's rifle, is still hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the Sassari civil hospital, but has been extubated and is breathing independently .
The bullet caused a three-centimeter hole in his groin that required emergency surgery, which was performed yesterday afternoon.
Carabinieri officers from the Sassari provincial command are continuing their investigation to reconstruct the circumstances of the incident. Meanwhile, the weapons and ammunition of both hunters have been seized as a precaution.
