Court Proceedings for Students Involved in Stun Gun Incident

Mon 24th Mar, 2025

In a recent court case in Wiener Neudorf, two students admitted to possessing a stun gun, a device that delivers an electric shock intended for self-defense. The students, whose identities have not been disclosed, faced questioning regarding the ownership of the stun gun during the proceedings.

During their testimonies, the older student recounted that the two were simply relaxing in a local park when they had the impulsive idea to use the device. He explained that they found the visual effects of the electric shocks fascinating.

The younger student claimed that the stun gun belonged to the older one, leading to a mutual exchange of blame regarding its ownership. The court proceedings highlighted the concerns surrounding the possession of such devices among minors and the potential implications for safety in public spaces.

Authorities have expressed the need for increased awareness and education about the dangers associated with stun guns and similar weapons, particularly among young people. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible behavior and understanding the legal ramifications of possessing such items.
