ARCHIVED - Andalusia police called to two shootouts in 24 hours
The shootings were reported in the Andalucía provinces of Seville and Granada
In an alarming rise in gun crime, authorities in the region of Andalucía had to deal with two shootouts on the same day this Sunday October 17, one in Seville and the other in Granada.
The shooting incident Granada, in the municipality of Chauchina, took place at around 6.50pm on Sunday afternoon and was reportedly linked to a drug dispute. Two people were injured as a result.
One of the injured parties has already been released from hospital and has been arrested along with another man. A third man remains in hospital but will be reprimanded into police custody when he is given the medical all-clear. This is the second episode of gun crime in the area in under a month, as another shootout, which also left two people injured, took place at an industrial site in Lachar at the end of September.
Meanwhile, the shootout in Seville, in the Los Pajaritos neighbourhood, is still being investigated by the police and no one has been arrested yet. Police were called to the scene at around 11pm, but they found no witnesses when they arrived at the empty street. However, several gun cartridges were recovered after officers checked the ground in the area.
