Bremgarten, 9 a.m. Tuesday morning. A shot goes off. Justin M. is hit in the head. He died in hospital a few hours later. What happened? “The investigation is underway,” the army simply repeats. At most we know that the shot came from a military vehicle, that the soldier was “following an instruction session” and that he was in his 15th week – recruit schools generally have between 18 and 21 . A terrible accident, knowing that after more than a hundred days of walking the asphalt of the trellis barracks, the rules of handling weapons are generally indelibly imprinted on the heads of the soldiers. Without preventing occasional dramas.

“All weapons are always considered loaded”
