Investigation continues after the death of a 34-year-old man in Albuñol, Granada, following an incident inside a vehicle where a shotgun was discharged as a group of friends prepared for a hunting outing. Authorities from the Civil Guard are examining the surrounding conditions and mapping the sequence of events to determine how the tragedy unfolded.
The events unfolded around 11:30 am on Sunday at the Los Castillas annex in the municipality of Albuñol. Emergency responders were alerted to the scene, and a quick response from local teams helped secure the area and preserve evidence for the ongoing inquiry.
According to information relayed to EFE by the 112 Emergency Coordination Center, a call was received reporting the distressing incident. The Civil Guard has since taken the lead in the investigation, coordinating with other local authorities to review every facet of what happened and to reconstruct the moments leading to the shooting.
Early reports from nearby sources suggest that the fatal outcome might have resulted from an accidental discharge. It is possible that one of the companions fired the shotgun from outside the vehicle, and the resulting bullet struck a member of the car. However, investigators stress that the precise circumstances are still under review and will be clarified through a careful analysis of forensics, witness statements, and the vehicle’s positioning at the time of the event.
Safety procedures and weapons handling within hunting gatherings are under the lens as authorities examine potential gaps or lapses that could have contributed to the incident. As the investigation progresses, inspectors are looking at how the firearm was stored, who had access to it, and how the group coordinated their activities before the shot was fired. The goal is to determine whether any preventable factors were involved and to ensure that measures are in place to protect participants in similar scenarios in the future.
Residents and local officials are closely following developments, and especially the details that can shed light on how such an event could occur in a setting that many families and visitors associate with outdoor recreation and community life. The investigation remains active, and authorities urge anyone with information to come forward to assist in building a complete, accurate account of the incident. In the meantime, the area continues to be treated with caution as investigators collect and analyze evidence, including statements from potential witnesses and physical traces around the vehicle.
As more information becomes available, authorities will provide updates on the progress of the inquiry. The aim is to deliver a clear, factual explanation of the factors that led to the fatal moment, ensuring accountability where it is warranted and reinforcing safety practices for hunting groups in the region.
