Jorge Ballesteros, the reigning shooting world champion, was rushed to the hospital with a gunshot wound but later died.
The legendary Spanish shooter was discovered on Monday with a gunshot wound to the head in his automobile.
He was promptly taken to La Paz hospital in Madrid, where he, unfortunately, died the next day.
The 39-year-old was regarded as Spain’s best shooter of all time, despite the fact that his sport never became an Olympic event during his lifetime and he was never able to compete there.
Ballesteros finished third in the junior competition in 2002 and again in the senior tournament in 2005 before winning the IPSC Handgun World Shoot in the Open division in 2017 and becoming his nation’s first champion.
