The incident in Spain’s Ciudad Real follows the shooting in Mijas over the weekend.

As a result, a 21-year-old man has been left ‘paralysed’ and in ‘critical condition’ after being ‘shot four times by a masked gunman’.

The victim, who has not been named, was shot last weekend in Mijas and is said to be in a paraplegic state after bullets damaged his spinal cord.

The young Spanish man, of Moroccan origin, is believed to have been dining on Saturday, October 22, in a restaurant located in the Doña Lola urbanization, in the area of Calahonda.

The victim left the premises accompanied by two other friends as they walked towards their cars when, at around 10.25 pm, a “man dressed in black with only his eyes visible pointed a gun at them”, witnesses told local media.

The alleged gunman pulled the trigger and hit the victim four times, with two further bullets hitting nearby cars before he “fled the scene on a motorbike”.
