Cerdanyola shooting – big news – updated

Something massive has been going down here today. Apparently at about 1215 this afternoon, two Mossos tried to investigate two dodgy geezers wearing wigs who'd been seen casing a bank by the Carretera de Barcelona. The two alleged hoodlums apparently opened fire on the Mossos, wounding one, and then fled to a place near where Adam lives. There, they abandoned their car and are believed to be hiding out. There have been helicopters in the sky all afternoon, looking for the miscreants. It will be interesting to see just who's stupid enough to shoot at some police officers.

More details: here and here.

UPDATE: The alleged criminals have been arrested after a brief siege at their apartment not five minutes from our flat. They're a man and a woman and apparently lived together. It seems they had a sawn-off shotgun, or maybe two. They're being questioned in a comisaria nearby.
