Kopfschuss Schie{ - }bude Oktoberfest: What Happened?
In a startling event at this year's Oktoberfest in Munich, an operator of the shooting booth was accidentally shot in the head by a visitor. The unfortunate accident occurred around 4 PM when the operator was kneeling to arrange shelves within her stall. As she stood up, she inadvertently entered the line of fire, resulting in the incident.
Medical Response and Recovery
Emergency services, specifically Aicher Ambulanz Union, were quick to respond to the scene. A call was made to emergency services, and upon arrival, medical teams assessed and treated the operator's injuries. A surgeon successfully removed a four-millimeter projectile from her right cranium.
- According to Aicher Ambulanz Union, lead pellets from air rifles typically lack the force needed to penetrate the skull. In this case, the bullet injured the woman's scalp, redirected by the skull bone, and lodged two centimeters deep in her head.
