At least two dead, four injured in southern Spain shooting

Authorities said a 25-year-old suspect surrendered after the attack, and investigators are trying to determine a motive, while a baby remains in intensive care.

  • On Monday at 23:00, a shooting in El Ejido near Almería left two people dead and four others seriously injured, with victims transported to a local hospital.
  • Spain's Guardia Civil arrested a 25-year-old man on suspicion of murder after the suspect initially fled but turned himself in at a local police station.
  • Among the four injured are two children—a seven-month-old infant and an 18-month-old baby—plus a 60-year-old man, though authorities have not released formal identities.
  • The Guardia Civil is investigating the attack to establish a possible motive for the shooting, with officials examining circumstances surrounding the late-night incident.
