Warsaw, (Poland) Jan 10 (ANI): A polish military prosecutor shot himself in the head today during a break at a press conference.
Before shooting and injuring himself seriously, Colonel Mikolaj Przbyl was defending his office against allegations of illegal wiretapping. He also said that he needed to 'air the room' and asked the media to stand in the corridor for five minutes.
A camera left rolling recorded the colonel ushering the last journalists out of the room.
Colonel Przbyl then walked out of sight, but a camera microphone picked up sounds of a pistol being cocked, a shot being fired and a body hitting the floor, The Sydney Morning Herald reports.
He suffered facial injuries and was taken to a hospital where his condition was described as stable and not life-threatening.
The shooting was linked to the leak of classified information related to the Smolensk air disaster, which claimed the lives of Polish president Lech Kaczynski and 92 others on April 10, 2010. (ANI)
