An 75-year-old man out for his morning jog was gunned down by a huntsman who mistook him for a deer.
The hunter, who has not been named, now faces an attempted murder charges because police refuse to believe the shooting was an accident.
Olle Rosdahl can be seen in footage released by police, which was recorded by the gun's electronic sights.
Officers say it was obvious the target was a human being when the hunter shot the jogger from a distance of 170 metres - about 558 feet - in November in the Swedish town of Klippan.
Mr Rosdahl, who had been enjoying a morning run around 4.30am near his home said: "I heard a blast and fell to the ground. I was shrieking: 'What the hell kind of shooting is that?'
"The shot went straight through me and if it had been two centimetres higher I would not have survived."

Mr Rosdahl was severely injured but managed to reach a neighbour a few hundred metres away, where he received help and was taken to a hospital by ambulance.
It turned out the bullet had gone straight through his side, exiting through his buttocks without any vital organs being damaged.
The Norwegian gunman, who was reportedly visiting Sweden from Norway to hunt deer, wild boar and fox, was arrested later that day.
He insists the shooting was an unfortunate accident.
But, after viewing the video footage which shows the hunter aiming at a figure who buckles over as the shot hits its target, cops have charged him with attempted murder.

Prosecutor Ola Lavie told local media: "The evidence to a large extent consists of the film which shows what he was shooting at.
"If you look at the film, for me, it is obvious he is shooting a human being. I believe from the film it's clear this is an intentional shooting."
Although police have reportedly acknowledged they have been unable to come up with a possible motive for him shooting the jogger intentionally.
Ms Lavie added: “Rosdahl has no issues with anyone. He lives in the area and has no idea why anyone would want to shoot him."
But J Andres Concha, the hunter's lawyer, told local media: "He denies everything. It was a pure hunting accident and there was no intention of killing."
Prosecutors also say the Norwegian hunted deer and fox at night several times during the autumn, which is forbidden in Sweden.
He also allegedly used illegal ammunition and infrared sights which also require special permission.
It is unclear if the suspect regularly recorded his hunting exploits.
