Two individuals aged 18 and 21 were admitted to Trincomalee Hospital after being shot near the Raigam salt factory in Kuchchaveli, today (03).
The investigation department has determined that the shooting targeted the area below the knee of the victims.
Preliminary findings suggest that the incident may be linked to the rampant hunting of wild animals in the area, as the gunshot may have been unintentionally discharged by hunters.
