In Adana, art teacher Burak Ateş (36) requested help from his relatives after suddenly feeling pain in his abdomen while he was in his hobby garden in the Topaktaş neighborhood of the Karaisalı district on the evening of June 7. It was noticed that Ateş had bleeding in his abdominal area, and he was taken to Çukurova State Hospital by his relatives.

A STRAY BULLET HIT HIM

It was determined from the X-ray that Ateş was injured by a bullet that hit the upper left part of his abdomen and that the bullet had progressed to the lower part of his abdomen. Doctors decided to remove the bullet surgically on June 13, and after the necessary intervention, they discharged Ateş.

FELT PAIN IN HIS ABDOMEN WHILE GETTING WATER

Burak Ateş, who returned to his home in the Seyhan district, said that he gathered with his family in the hobby garden in the Karaisalı district on the second day of the Eid al-Adha. He explained that he was injured by a stray bullet that hit his abdomen while he was trying to get water from the trunk of his vehicle, and he noted that he had just left his son shortly before the incident.

"WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO HAVE FUN OR CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAY"

Ateş expressed that the injured person in this incident could also be his 5-year-old son and reacted against individual armament.

Ateş stated that he went to the hobby garden because it was quieter and more peaceful, but he encountered this incident, saying:

"We don't know how to have fun or celebrate the holiday. All we do is turn people's lives into a nightmare with the weapons we hold. We want this to end. We do not want to face such issues with people. This makes life difficult for us. Right now, I am going through a process with the bullet that remains in my body. This is very difficult for us. We are facing something like this for the first time in our lives. The pain I feel, along with the depressive state we are experiencing, is already pushing us further back. We escape from the crowd to go to quieter lands, but if these things happen to us there as well, we become unsure of what to do."

Ateş called for increased controls against armament and stated that young people should also be made aware of this issue.

Gendarmerie teams are continuing their efforts to identify the person who used the firearm.
