A SHOOTING in the heart of Benidorm’s nightclub district on Wednesday night caused panic among innocent holidaymakers and resulted in a police lockdown of Calle Mallorca, known as The Square among Britons.
The incident happened at around 23.00 in what police say is ‘drug mafia’ related and eyewitnesses said that there was a mass stampede involving around 40 men, with furniture flying before a number of shots could be heard.
Three people were wounded, one of which was British, who was taken to hospital having sustained gunshot wounds, although not thought to be life-threatening.
