Three dead, including pregnant woman and child, after masked men open fire at Spanish holiday resort; police probe possible family feud revenge

Three people, including a pregnant woman and her child, were shot dead in Isla Cristina, Spain, on Sunday evening. The attack occurred around 10 PM when two masked men on a motorbike opened fire on a family, leaving a fourth person critically injured.³⁴

The victims, identified as the mother, sister, and nephew of a man arrested in a previous shooting, were reportedly targeted in a revenge attack stemming from a family feud. This feud dates back to September, when a homicide occurred in the Torrejón neighborhood of Huelva, igniting a series of violent incidents between the two families involved.

Local authorities have confirmed that the bodies were left in the street after the shooting, and the victims' remains have been sent for autopsy. The police have launched a large-scale operation to locate the gunmen, who remain at large. “The initial lines of investigation indicate that it could be a settling of scores between members of different clans,” stated the Civil Guard, emphasizing that no hypotheses have been ruled out.

The area remains under heavy police presence as investigators continue their search for the suspects. “A secrecy order had been placed over the case by a judge,” a police spokesman confirmed, indicating the sensitive nature of the ongoing investigation.
