Amazing just how often gamekeepers seem to accidentally shoot things or commit other offences....
'The gamekeeper lent over front passenger seat to talk to him. As he did so he knocked a gun which was on the passenger seat of the vehicle - the gun was loaded and the safety catch was not engaged. A bullet shot through the door and into Lecocq’s leg'.
