A man has died and a woman is wounded in Barcelona after being shot several times. The Mossos are looking for a motorist who has entered a bar near the Sant Roc metro, on Avenida del Marquès de Montroig, and has opened fire, according to police sources.
The shooting began shortly before eleven thirty at night, when a man entered a bar with a black motorcycle helmet on, and shot and killed the owner of the premises. Police are investigating the motives for the attack and trying to clarify whether the shots were also aimed at the woman or whether she was collaterally wounded.
Catalan police are now searching for the suspect in the area, in a new gun attack in Catalonia. On May 3, two men were shot dead in Salou, outside a hotel, where families and children were staying. The Mossos suspect that it is a settling of accounts of organized crime.
