A 66 year-old hiker got accidentally shot by a stray bullet while he was hiking up Tzaishan in Kaohsiung last Friday. There was also a shooting training going on at sea during that day. The bullet is from a M2 machine gun, which is also what the military was using for training at the moment on sea. The wounded has filed a lawsuit againt the military for negligence.
The hiker's ankle is blooding from a mysterious shot. This accident happened when he was hiking up Tzaishan in Kaohsiung and resting by the Four Banyans on the morning of 11th with his friends. Local police had found a M2 Browning bullet some 200 meters away originally, leading them to believe that the bullet was from a nearby shooting range where the Navy's Marine Corps was undergoing training at the bottom of Tzaishan. However, further investigation showed otherwise.

However, further investigation showed otherwise.
There was also a shooting training going on at sea during that day. The bullet is from a M2 machine gun, which is also what they were using for training at the moment on sea. Police investigation shows that the angle in which the bullet came from should be from the sea. Further ballistic examination need to be carried out for identification.
Police originally thought that the stray bullet had come from a shooting range nearby, about 0.85 kilometers away from where the 66 year-old hiker, Mr. Chen was resting. However, further investigation showed that M2 machine guns were not used that day at the shooting range, and instead was used by military along the sea coast also doing training that day two kilometers away. The missed shot happened since the bullet's path is angled too high which made it fly up and through the hill, hitting Chen by mistake.

Mr. Chen has filed a personal injury lawsuit due to negligence by the military to claim for his medical expenses and our investigation is still ongoing.
Kaohsiung Prosecutors Office says investigation is still ongoing and this case falls under no trial without complaint. The Marine Corps Command says that they would cooperate with the police investigation and if there is indeed military negligence, Chen can seek compensation from the government.
登山客蹲坐在地上，腳踝上滿是鮮血，怎麼也沒想到，跟朋友在柴山四棵榕，附近休息時會飛來橫禍，被子彈打中，11號上午高雄柴山發生流彈傷人意外，原本軍警依照現場拾獲的50機槍子彈彈頭，推論是柴山山腳下，海軍陸戰隊的靶場射擊訓練所擊發，最新調查結果出爐。
高雄地檢署襄閱主任檢察官 徐弘儒表示：「當天，確實有海上演練，是一個50機槍，海上射擊課目演練。那經過警方到現場比對，也是以海面射擊的角度，較為吻合。但是此部分，仍有待進一步的彈道比對，才能夠釐清。」
原以為流彈來自距案發地點約0.85公里，海軍陸戰隊位在柴山山腳的靶場，但後續軍警調查，當天11號靶場並沒有使用50機槍子彈，反而是在更遠的海軍陸戰隊，在柴山「海七哨」上午的演習時，有使用該槍種，疑似因為海面浪濤洶湧等因素，導致官兵在海上的M8快艇，操作50機槍時擊發角度偏高，彈道拋物線越過柴山山區，打中2公里正在休息的66歲陳姓男子。
高雄地檢署襄閱主任檢察官 徐弘儒表示：「被害人的部分，在我們展開調查後，他在警察局，製作筆錄時，也正式提出"過失傷害"告訴。」
高雄地檢署表示，一切原因還有待調查結果，而這件案件屬於告訴乃論，陳姓男子已對軍方提告過失傷害，如果軍方有過失責任，可能進一步提起國賠。海軍陸戰隊則表示，尊重檢警調查釐清。
