BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — A man attempting to shoot a friend’s cow missed the animal twice and one of the bullets hit and injured a woman who was driving past in her car, a court heard Monday.
Rudolf Stadler, 51, from Mooloolaba on Australia’s east coast, appeared in Brisbane District Court on charges of conducting a negligent act causing bodily harm. He pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutor Matt Nathan said that on April 17 last year Stadler was trying to kill a cow for his friend Paul Tyson.
After luring the animal to a shed, he shot twice but missed. The second bullet hit Carrie Tunning, who was driving along a road next to Tyson’s farm, Nathan said.
“I heard this enormous noise like a rock hitting the car but much louder,” Tunning told the court. “I looked down and there was blood everywhere on my leg.”
Tunning has made a full recovery.
Nathan told the jury they should find Stadler guilty of negligence because he failed to take “simple and reasonable precautions.”
The trial is continuing. Stadler faces a maximum sentence of two years’ imprisonment if convicted.
