Is there a discrepancy in the versions about the child shot in Vratsa?

The prosecutor's office, for its part, described what happened as a "ridiculous incident"

There are still no arrests in the case in Vratsa, in which a two-year-old child was shot in the head.

The versions of the parents and those of the prosecutor's office turn out to be different.

What is known so far?

The two-year-old is the only child of the family. They live in the village of Gallatin, but on that day they came to visit the parents of the boy's father. According to the grandmother, who did not want to stand in front of the BNT camera, the mother of the two-year-old boy was sitting in the yard with the child, and the 11-year-old boy, who turns out to be the uncle of the injured two-year-old child, took this air rifle, which was she was standing free on a table in the yard and that's how the shot that hit the two-year-old child in the head came out in the game.

The prosecutor's office, for its part, described what happened as a "ridiculous incident".

Grandpa took out this air rifle in the afternoon. It is legally owned by him. He loaded and unloaded the rifle several times, and at some point he emptied it and sent his 11-year-old son to buy ice cream. In his son's absence, the man reloads the rifle. After the child returned, he did not know that she had been charged. The attention of the adults is diverted by people who have come to buy a lamb.

"At that moment, the two-year-old child managed to grab the rifle from the table by the barrel, and his 11-year-old uncle, in order to protect the child, grabbed the rifle by the butt and thus pulled the trigger, and this shot was fired.

The prosecutor's office pointed out that the 11-year-old boy cannot be held criminally responsible, and no evidence has been collected regarding the grandfather. The investigation at this time continues pending the results of the forensic and ballistics examination.
