After a stray bullet hits a little girl on a playground, the South Korean military stops practicing tiny guns.

At a news conference, South Korean Army officials said that all planned training involving handguns and rifles would be halted.

The decision was made in reaction to an event that occurred earlier in the week on Monday, when a young girl at a Daegu children's playground was hurt close to the neck by an alleged stray gunshot from a military exercise at a neighboring military complex. She was discharged from the hospital since her injuries were not life-threatening. 

The public was not given access to her name. It was reported that investigations into the events leading up to the catastrophe were under progress. The military's practice of holding shooting drills near residential areas was called into question by the occurrence. The girl claimed to have been struck during a guns training, an army spokeswoman acknowledged. The incident occurred a year after, during a training with US forces, the South Korean Army unintentionally bombed a small town close to the North Korean border, hurting thirty civilians.
