Police can find no relationship between the victim and the shooter who then committed suicide in the church


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.

The baby who was born by Caesarean section in a Madrid church after his 36 year old mother, Rocio Piñeiro, was killed in a shooting has died. The child had undergone a heart attack just after the procedure.

Last Thursday a gunmen, since found to be a vagrant, entered in the Santa María del Pinar church and started to fire at random, hitting the pregnant women.

Although the mother died at the scene, health professionals from Samur managed to carry out a caesarean to save the child, but despite being rushed to hospital and an incubator the baby lost his fight for life on Monday.

The shooting ended when the man, 34 year old Iván Berrel, shot himself in the mouth. Another 52 year old woman who was injured was allowed home from hospital on Monday.

What can one say - totally senseless waste of life and of a life not yet started.

What a shame the child died it must have been the trauma of the operation. So sad.

Some sort of religious connection.

Poor little baby......I just don't understand what's going wrong In this world anymore.



I'm glad I'm not young anymore.
