A father has reportedly been shot dead by his own son on a boar hunt in Italy.
Italian police charged a man with culpable homicide after he shot and killed his father during a hunt, the BBC reported.
The 34-year-old is said to have opened fire when he saw a shadow in the bushes, but he hit his own father in the lower abdomen.
He immediately raised the alarm when he realised what happened and tried to keep his father alive, but 55-year-old Martino Gaudioso died.
They were hunting in a national park where hunting is prohibited, local media reported.
Michela Vittoria Brambilla, president of the Italian League for the Defence of Animals, said Italy had become the "Wild West".
She said on Facebook: "It is a real national emergency."
Italy's environment minister called for a national ban on Sunday hunting in October last year.
It came after an 18-year-old was shot and killed close to the French border.
Two more men died in similar circumstances at the end of the month, a 56-year-old and a 20-year-old
