In China’s Jiangxi province, a man died after hunters mistook him for a hare and shot at him. A BBC report has identified the man as Wang Moujin and his cause of death is drowning. Four men — some of them are believed to be in their 30s — have been arrested for Moujin’s death. The man was reportedly fishing when he was hit in the head with an air gun bullet, following which he fell into a ditch and drowned.

Xinzhou District Police said that one of the four men had opened fire after noticing some movement in the grass. Upon firing, he hit Moujin, who was fishing nearby.

China’s gun laws also apply to replica guns and gun toys, ownership of firearms is largely restricted to the military, law enforcement and security personnel. Even the police are issued pistols only to stop violent and dangerous crimes.
