Overview
- The shooting, which occurred Wednesday, May 20, took place outside a bar on Avenida del Siglo XXI in Viladecans and did not cause any injuries.
- Officers at the scene recovered several spent shell casings and are analysing them to see if they match weapons used in other crimes.
- Investigators recorded details of a white car with a German licence plate, make and model, and say the suspects fled in that vehicle but it has not been located and no arrests have been made.
- Witnesses and municipal sources said the shots were very close to the bar terrace, prompting customers to take refuge and leaving residents alarmed while police searched nearby roads including the C-32.
- Ramón Chacón, head of Mossos Criminal Investigation, warned that a growing ‘banalization’ and ‘socialization’ of firearms in Catalonia is driving more intimidatory, intracriminal shootings and raising the risk to bystanders.
