Mallorca shooting: Palma police officer hit in leg
On Mallorca, a shot hits a Palma local police officer in the leg on Saturday evening as he intervenes in a dispute between neighbours in the city’s Corea district. It happens at about 20.00 at the junction of l’Infant Pagà and Felip II streets, where a patrol is on duty. The newspaper Última Hora first reports the shooting, and police sources confirm it to Europa Press.
Officers were apparently trying to arrest a resident when a group of neighbours came out of their homes to stop them. The man they sought to arrest allegedly drew a gun and fired twice. One shot struck the officer’s leg. After receiving first aid, he is believed to be out of danger.
SAMU 061 medical staff also attend the scene. Palma Local Police and the National Police are working together to establish what happened.
