Belfast Woman Escapes Gun Attack

A Belfast woman has narrowly escaped injury after an Estonian man was shot at a bar she was working in at the time in Spain.

The victim was sitting on the terrace of the Point pub in Nueva Andalucía at around 9pm last night when two men came up on a moped.

One of the men shot the victim in the back of the neck.

The attack comes on the terrace of the same bar where british criminal William Moy was shot in July last year.
