A police student in Schleswig-Holstein was shot during a shooting training session.
A spokesman for the Lübeck police said on Wednesday that he could confirm that there had been an accident during training last Thursday.
Accordingly, during shooting training in Putlos in the Ostholstein district, a shot was unintentionally released from an instructor's gun and hit the 22-year-old in the upper arm.
The young man was taken to a hospital.
The trainer is now being investigated in the office on suspicion of bodily harm.
Several media had previously reported on the case, including the "Kieler Nachrichten".
