attackers yelled “Gypsy s**t, you’re going to die like rats” as the attackers’

Milagros Galán was lowering the front room shutters of her first floor apartment in a block in the Fuensanta district of Coín at 1 am last Wednesday morning when the bullets started flying.

No-one was hurt in the lightening attack and police said later they thought the bullets were intended for a gypsy family living a few doors away.

Neighbours said there had been an argument between the gypsies and some people - allegedly relatives from Fuengirola - the previous day.

They also reported that the attackers yelled “Gypsy s**t, you’re going to die like rats” as the attackers’ cars sped off after the attack.

Police said at least four people were involved in the attack and at least three weapons were used, including hunting shotguns.
