A 25-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of killing his parents and injuring four others in a mass shooting in southern Spain, police have said.<\/b><\/p>\n

Authorities said the shooting was reported at 23:00 local time (22:00 BST) on Monday in the small town of El Ejido, near Almer\u00eda.<\/p>\n

Four others, including two children, were seriously injured and have been taken to hospital.<\/p>\n

One is believed to be the suspect’s seven-month-old son, according to local media reports.<\/p>\n

The identities of the suspect and the victims have not been formally released by Spanish authorities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Local media say the other child injured is an 18-month-old baby, while a 60-year-old man is also believed to be among those injured in the attack.<\/p>\n

The suspect was briefly on the run before turning himself in at a local police station, according to Europa Press.<\/p>\n

Guardia Civil said it is investigating the attack and trying to establish a possible motive for the shooting.<\/p>\n

Mass shootings in Spain are relatively rare – according to Project Insight, which tracks gun crime in Europe, four were recorded between 2000 and 2023.<\/p>\n
