A 43-year-old Spanish national has been arrested as the suspected perpetrator of a fatal shooting with a firearm that occurred on Tuesday evening in Azpeitia (Gipuzkoa), according to cadenaser.com. The suspect presented himself voluntarily at around half past five in the morning at the Ertzain-Etxea in Ondarroa, where officers seized a pistol that he was carrying.

At around quarter past eight in the evening, on Artzubia Avenue in Azpeitia, the suspected perpetrator fired several shots at another man and fled in a vehicle. The victim, aged 31 and also a Spanish national, died at the scene due to the severity of his injuries.
After the incident became known, the Ertzaintza immediately activated a deployment to locate the assailant.
