A 25 year old man was killed yesterday when he was hit by a stray shot, believed to have been fired by his father, during an organised hunt in woods in Valdeazores, near Los Navalucillos in the province of Toledo at around 4pm yesterday afternoon.

Over the last three months, three hunters have been killed and a fourth seriously injured in similar incidents.

On the 24th November a man was killed near Tarragona during a hunt in which the victim's father was also participating.

Two weeks before that, a 58 year old man was injured in Osuna (Sevilla), the same day that two men accidentally shot themselves with their own weapons in separate accidents in Castellón province.
