Hunters shoots washing machine

A German hunter hit a washing machine, electric drier and the wall before finally killing a wild pig that was on the rampage in a house.

The pig had run into the communal wash room of a house in Ketzerbachtal in Saxony, and started shredding sheets and clothing.

Attempts to drive it out of the house failed and hunter Walter Kopinger, 57 was called to kill the animal.

Because of the confined space he used a Magnum 357 rather than his rifle but still only managed to hit the animal after several shots.
