Col Mikolaj Przybyl was defending a military investigation into media leaks related to the air crash that killed the Polish president in 2010.

He asked reporters to leave so that he could take "a break".

Upon hearing a loud thud, the reporters returned to find him on the floor with a pool of blood around his head

He lived, having shot himself through the cheek. He has spoken and says he was too "hasty" and that he was trying to shoot himself in the head.

He said he was tired of being harassed by the gangs be was prosecuting.

He was being accused of spying on reporters who were reporting on the crash.

Why?

Sounded like a Tokarev chambering a round. Slightly complex mechanical noises.

Tells you how much pressure this guy was under and just how vulnerable he knows he is.

He needs to quit his job and get away from that place.

Oh come on, no Polish jokes Lol. I'm just kidding I know its a different world over there and its sad he felt he had no other choice. Time to quit and do something comparatively low pressure.

TO REMAIN ON TOPIC I WILL POSE A GUN RELATED QUESTION


Since the shot essentially ended up a flesh wound, how was it that he was immediately knocked out? Percussion? Shock?
