A man on Friday at a shopping complex in Zaragoza, Spain, shot his ex-wife and then tried to commit suicide, investigators have said.


Police sources in Aragon believed the man might have been waiting in a black Land Rover for his former wife and daughter to leave a car park near the shopping complex, and opened fire on them as they appeared.

According to El Heraldo, the daughter, who was driving the vehicle, was not hit by any of the shots but the mother. The witnesses say the man then shot himself.

The mother and the man are said to be in a critical condition in the hospital. Police say it appears it is a case of domestic violence, as the aggressor and the victim had recently separated.
