Police have made six arrests following a shooting incident in Elche on Monday. The main hypothesis is that it came about through the settling of drugs scores, leaving four people injured, one of them a pregnant woman. She was injured in the shoulder by a shot which also affected a lung, and was the most seriously hurt of the four injured. She underwent surgery in the Elche University Hospital on Monday night and is progressing well.
The shooting occurred at 7.45pm on Monday night, in Calle Diego Martínez Sánchez, next to the Doctor Sapena Health Centre.
National Police say that three women were detained initially; two of them allegedly taking part in the shooting and the other on a charge of causing a brawl, while on Tuesday three men were arrested when travelling in a car. One of the men was found to be carrying a 38 revolver on his person, with ammunition and ready to fire.
In addition five homes have been searched in the Puñalada district of the town, which resulted in 800 grams of hashish, two revolvers, several knives, a baton, four vehicles, 1,100 € in cash and ammunition.
