Three individuals, including a pregnant woman in her eighth month, a 62-year-old woman, and a 16-year-old boy, were killed in a suspected gang shooting in Isla Cristina, a town in southwestern Spain. The attack, which occurred on Sunday evening, is believed to be linked to drug trade disputes. Two masked assailants rode up on a motorcycle and opened fire, leaving the victims dead on the street.
The unborn child in the pregnant woman also perished. Two women, reportedly the mother and sister of a man under investigation for a fatal shootout in September 2024, were among the casualties. The 16-year-old victim had no affiliation with either of the deceased women or the alleged revenge attack. He was simply an innocent bystander who happened to be in the area when the shots were fired.
Police have launched an investigation into the incident, which they suspect may be a response to the earlier shootout.
