A 66-year-old man in Mykanów sustained a gunshot wound to the head on Wednesday during an incident at his residence that ultimately proved fatal despite emergency intervention.
Emergency services received a report of the wounded individual at 9:04 a.m. on Tuesday, according to local reporting compiled by ToCelebryci.pl. Police patrols and a medical rescue team were immediately dispatched to the property in the Częstochowa County.
The aircraft landed at the facility on Bialskiej Street.
— Mężczyzna trafił do nas na Szpitalny Oddział Ratunkowy. Trwają procedury medyczne ratujące zdrowie i życie — said Angelika Kawecka, press spokesperson for the Częstochowa hospital, as quoted by Dziennik Zachodni.
Medical personnel admitted the patient to the hospital emergency ward and initiated life-saving procedures. However, despite intensive medical efforts and resuscitation, the 66-year-old succumbed to his injuries a few hours later, with hospital representatives officially confirming his death at 1:25 p.m., according to ToCelebryci.pl.
Officers from the municipal command in Częstochowa and local stations launched an inquiry to reconstruct the sequence of events at the property in the commune of Mykanów. Investigators secured physical traces at the scene and interviewed initial witnesses.
— Ze wstępnych ustaleń wynika, że posiadał pozwolenie na broń. W chwili, gdy padł strzał, w domu przebywała również jego żona — said Barbara Poznańska, press officer for the Częstochowa Municipal Police Command, as reported by Dziennik Zachodni.
Authorities confirmed that the firearm involved was legally owned. Police also said that the man’s wife was inside the building when the loud shot was heard and that she likely alerted emergency services, according to findings cited by ToCelebryci.pl.
Investigators have not yet disclosed the exact circumstances surrounding the discharge of the weapon. Law enforcement agencies are continuing evidentiary proceedings to determine whether the incident was an accidental discharge or an act of self-harm.
Further investigative actions and forensic analysis will establish the definitive causes behind the fatal shooting in Mykanów.
