A man has been killed in a shooting incident in the Avenida Antonio Machado in Arroyo de la Miel, Benalmádena. It happened in the early hours of Wednesday at 3,20am when the emergency services were alerted by several residents who heard several shots.

Hospital sources say the victim died from his wounds after being shot in the ribs and that they could only confirm the death on their arrival at the scene.

As yet we have no news on the identity of the victim but it seems the aggression came after an argument in a nearby bar.

Last Sunday a 33 year old British man was shot in the abdomen inside his home in Urbanisation Cala Azul, in La Cala de Mijas. The shooter put his hand through the open window and opened fire as the man was sitting on his sofa, according to reports in Diario Sur.

The victim was treated in the Costa del Sol Hospital in Marbella and then allowed home after it was established that the bullet had cross his body without hitting any internal organ. Mijas Guardia Civil are investigating that shooting.
