The minor injured by a firearm in Figueres, victim of a game
The family denies that the young man, who remains in the ICU although he is recovering well, manipulated the revolver.
BarcelonaFirst, it was said he was shot during a robbery. Later, it was reported that the minor himself was injured while handling a gun. Now, the family of the 17-year-old boy has told ACN that the young man was shot in the chest after an acquaintance played Russian roulette with him and a group of friends he was with. The incident occurred on Friday night in Figueres, and the minor ended up in the Doctor Josep Trueta Hospital in Girona after being shot. The boy remains in the ICU although he is stable and, according to sources from the Figueres city council, is recovering well.
According to the family's account, the young man was having dinner with three friends when another group they knew suddenly appeared with a revolver. According to their version, the victim never handled the gun or his friends, but rather it was one of the young men who arrived who started shooting at everyone, as if it were a game of Russian roulette. Initially, no bullets were fired because they thought the gun was unloaded. On two occasions, he aimed and pulled the trigger in the direction of the victim, and on the second attempt, the bullet was fired.
Initially frightened by what had just happened, the group of friends claimed that the attack occurred during an attempted robbery. The Mossos d'Esquadra investigation, however, reinforced by security camera footage, determined that it was an incident involving the handling of a firearm and that, according to the Figueres City Council, the incident was accidentally fired. The council also described the fact that minors had access to firearms as "extremely serious."
