The man and his partner had lived in a stormy relationship for several years.
On the evening of Lucia Day, the woman was sitting on her sofa, when she suddenly smelled gunpowder and a burning sensation in her back.
When she looked up, she saw her partner with a revolver in her hand and realized that she had been shot.
During questioning, the man said that the weapon fell off by mistake when he was about to move it, and that it was an accident.
The woman also said during the investigation that she thought it was an accident.
Therefore, the 38-year-old is not convicted of attempted murder, but only of grievous bodily harm.
However, he is convicted of other assault offenses against the woman, and for having threatened her with a gun on a number of occasions.
The penalty is 2.5 years in prison.
