A town shaken, speechless. Oliena is reeling from the tragedy of yesterday afternoon in the countryside of Sa Serra: a hunting trip that ended in tragedy . The man who accidentally fatally shot farmer Andrea Puddu was his fellow villager Giovanni Puligheddu, 71, who has been registered as a suspect by the Nuoro Prosecutor's Office on charges of manslaughter.
Oliena is a community in shock. After all, there are about 300 hunters in the town nestled at the foot of Mount Corrasi. A big family.
The horrific incident occurred yesterday afternoon, shortly after 4:00 PM. The large group was on a big game hunt. According to some testimonies gathered by investigators, the shooter was apparently misled by the sudden movement of a wild boar. The shot went off sharply, but it struck Andrea Puddu in the chest, leaving him no chance of escape.
