MADRID, 28 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Civil Guard has arrested a man who opened fire with a shotgun and injured three agents of the Armed Institute who were participating in an entry into a house in Partida del Moralet, in Alicante, within the framework of an anti-drug operation for marijuana cultivation.
As reported to Europa Press by Civil Guard sources, the incident occurred at seven in the morning on Tuesday and resulted in the arrest of the shooter, a Polish national, who had a shoulder wound after the exchange of fire.
At the time of entering the home, this man opened fire using a shotgun and three agents of the Citizen Security Units (USECIC) were injured: one by a direct hit to the arm and the other two by shrapnel to one hand and the face, respectively.
The three agents injured in the anti-drug operation have been evacuated to a hospital, without the lives of any of them being in danger, according to the aforementioned Civil Guard sources.
The components of the USECIC fired shots with their regulation weapons to repel the aggression at the time of entering the house. Subsequently, the author of the shotgun fire and a woman, who were both inside the building, left voluntarily and were arrested.
