A resident of Bernimont (Léglise) was very scared: a rifle bullet landed in his facade. A bullet from the neighboring hunt. There are rules to avoid accidents in the Walloon Region, but should they be tightened? Not so simple if you want to keep the number of wild boars under control according to the Nature and Forest Department.
A shotgun bullet in a facade, several which go off according to witnesses, this is the misadventure experienced by the inhabitants of Bernimont according to our colleagues from l’Avenir. Something to seriously worry regarding for local residents but also for those throughout Wallonia. The hunts cannot theoretically be held less than 200 meters from homes to avoid any tragedy but when we talk regarding guns, the risk is always present: “We are talking regarding hunting munitions, some developed on the basis of weapons of war.explains Thierry Petit, DNF agent. These are projectiles which have a lot of energy, which can theoretically travel up to 4 kilometers and which even if they encounter obstacles such as a stone, can deviate from their trajectory even if the shot was carried out respecting all the instructions of security“. In this case, the most probable hypothesis remains the ricochet on a bone, the collarbone precisely, of a deer. Cases, even rare, already observed in the past. But if the ricochet is accidental , so why not move hunting further away from homes?
