On Monday morning, a shooting occurred in one of Barcelona’s districts, leaving one person injured. The incident took place around eight o’clock in the morning in the Sants-Montjuïc area, prompting a rapid response from local law enforcement.
Police officers quickly arrived at the scene and began searching for suspects. Soon, five individuals were detained as they attempted to leave the area by car. During a search of the vehicle, officers discovered two firearms, which became important evidence in the investigation.
The injured individual was promptly taken to the hospital. According to medical staff, his condition is considered stable and his life is not in danger. Doctors are continuing to monitor his health.
The investigation into the circumstances of the incident is being handled by the Catalan police criminal investigation unit. Authorities are working to determine the motives and details of what happened, as well as checking whether the detainees may be connected to other crimes.
Local residents note that such incidents are extremely rare in this area, so the event has caused concern among the community. Police have stepped up patrols in Sants-Montjuïc to ensure security and prevent similar situations from recurring.
The Barcelona authorities are urging citizens to remain calm and cooperate with the police by providing any information that may assist in the investigation. New details on the case are expected to be released soon.
