Italian man mistaken for wild boar shot dead by son
An Italian man shot dead his father Sunday during a hunting expedition in southern Italy after mistaking him for a wild boar, according to media reports. Martino Gaudioso, 55, was shot in the stomach by his 34-year-old son as they stalked their prey separately through thick foliage in Sicignano degli Alburni, near Salerno, in a national park area off limits to hunters, the reports said. Italy’s environment minister called for a nationwide ban on hunting last October following the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old after he was mistaken for a boar. Two months ago a hunter aged 67 was found dead in the woods after accidentally shooting himself in the head.
