Private Conor McPherson, 24, from Paisley, was taking part in a night time training practice at Otterburn Training Area, in August 2016 when he was shot by another soldier.
A young Scots soldier tragically died from a head injury after being shot through his helmet during a live-fire training exercise in Northumberland.
The court heard the group was moving toward a target at the training ground when a gun was fired and Pvt McPherson fell to the ground, Chronicle Live reports. Despite attempts to save him, Pvt McPherson was pronounced dead at the scene. "The second that injury was inflicted there was nothing that could been done to change the outcome." Dr Bolton said samples were taken for a toxicology report, which is carried out on everybody, and nothing was found in his system.
