Man shot at dinner – argued over capers

Three men, one in their 50s and two in their 30s, were having dinner when they suddenly disagreed over a caper in the food.

– The older man absolutely wanted the caper and threatened to shoot whoever ate it, says Anders Holm, commander at police region Mitt.

One of the younger ones still chose to eat the caper, whereupon the older man retrieved his hunting weapon.

– He simply shot him with his rifle, but in the foot so it is not life-threatening, says Anders Holm.

An ambulance was sent to the scene.

– We arrested the perpetrator and he is now suspected of aggravated assault and aggravated weapons offences, says Anders Holm.
