The reason remains a mystery.
A 70-year-old grandmother was arrested in Daegu after allegedly attacking her teenage grandson with a gun and then attempting to harm herself. Authorities are currently investigating the case.
The tragic incident occurred around noon on September 3 in an apartment in Dalseo District, Daegu. The grandmother, identified as Mrs. A, is charged with attempted murder after she attacked her grandson, a middle school student identified as Mr. B, with a sharp object.
B had reportedly skipped school that day and had gone to visit Ms. A’s apartment, which is in the same apartment complex, although in a different building. During the visit, Ms. A suddenly attacked him inside the house. The nephew managed to escape from the apartment and run outside, where a passerby saw the situation and alerted the police.
Both Mrs. A and her nephew were taken to a nearby hospital. Fortunately, neither of them suffered serious injuries, according to medical personnel.
It has been suggested that Mrs. A had been under significant stress over a prolonged period, particularly due to issues related to raising her grandson. However, the specific motive behind the violent incident is still under investigation.
Police plan to question Ms. A further once her condition is stable, and are also taking statements from other family members to better understand what led up to the event.
