A man has killed a pregnant woman in a Madrid church before seriously injuring another woman and then committing suicide, still inside the temple. In what many are describing as a miracle, Samur emergency workers were able to save the baby on their arrival at the scene by performing an emergency caesarean.
It happened at the Santa María del Pinar church in Ciudad Lineal.
The man came into the church and without saying anything shot the 36 year old pregnant woman in the back of the head. She was sitting at the back of the church with her mother and died almost instantly. He then went to the third row and fired again against a 52 year old woman, injuring her in the chest. She has been taken in a serious condition to the La Paz hospital. And then to the shock of all those present the man then committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth.
The emergency caesarean proved successful, even though the child had a cardiac arrest shortly after the birth, the baby boy is now stable and also now in La Paz.
As far as can be established the victim and the aggressor had no relationship, either emotionally or family, but police say the shooter did not choose his victims by pure chance. The 34 year old man, who was first thought to be a foreigner, first went to a local cafeteria and asked what time the mass started, and left for the church when he was told the time.
