The woman who was shot with a shotgun and the alleged aggressor, who then shot himself last Wednesday in Tinajo, had to be urgently transferred to the Doctor Negrín hospital in Gran Canaria, due to the severity of the injuries. Initially, both had been admitted to the Doctor José Molina Orosa Hospital in Arrecife, but the interventions they required forced the transfer.
She is a 25-year-old woman of foreign origin and he is a 45-year-old from Lanzarote. The man shot the woman in the stomach, with a shotgun that he later used against himself, injuring himself in the face. The event took place in a house located in Mancha Blanca, in the municipality of Tinajo.
The Local Police received the notice around 11:35 p.m. In addition to the municipal agents, the Civil Guard, Emerlan and personnel from the Canary Islands Health Service went to the scene. The Benemérita is currently investigating this alleged case of gender violence. The aggressor may have a history of mistreatment.
