A 23-year-old Indian student, Aryan Reddy, tragically lost his life in the United States after accidentally firing his hunting gun on his birthday.
The incident occurred on November 13 in Atlanta, Georgia, where Reddy was celebrating with friends at his home.
According to officials, Reddy took out his new hunting gun during the celebration, intending to clean it. Unfortunately, the firearm accidentally discharged, with a bullet striking him in the chest.
Hearing the gunshot, his friends, who were in another room, rushed in to find Reddy lying in a pool of blood. They immediately transported him to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Reddy was a second-year Master of Science student at Kansas State University, Atlanta. Originally from Bhuvanagiri district in Telangana, his family currently resides in the Uppal district.
Officials have confirmed that Aryan Reddy's body will be flown to his hometown later tonight.
