An incident occurred in Kappel SO on Saturday evening: a 15-year-old teenager was found seriously injured by gunshots, presumably by a schoolmate. The suspected perpetrator, also 15 years old, was arrested by the police at his home the following day. As reported by the Solothurn cantonal police, the young injured man is in hospital following a successful operation.
The incident occurred at around 9:30 p.m., when local residents discovered the seriously injured teenager lying on the ground in a neighborhood. According to reports from "TeleM1", the suspected shooter is a classmate with whom the victim had already come into conflict in the past. A witness told "20 Minuten" that the perpetrator came out of a dark corner and shot twice, hitting the teenager in the back.
Several police patrols and the emergency services were then deployed. A teenager with a gunshot wound was found at the scene.
Nothing is known about the motive. The police are investigating.
