On Sardinia, an unknown person fired at a campervan in which a married couple from Elterlein (Ore Mountains) was sleeping. The incident occurred around 5 a.m. in a mountain valley near Villacidro. Bullets pierced the glass, seats, and furniture; one lodged in the sheet 20 cm from a tourist. Police found four shell casings at the scene — three with shot and one with a bullet.
According to sources, the incident took place on June 18, 2026, in a mountain valley near the Villascema reservoir. A bullet passed through the entire vehicle, narrowly missing the sleepers. The couple called for help using the phone's emergency function despite no signal. The day before, a police officer had allowed them to stay overnight.
A 55-year-old local farmer was detained on suspicion of illegal weapons possession, but his involvement in the shooting has not yet been confirmed. The victims left the island the same day; the vacation was interrupted, and the tourists returned to Germany.
