An incident at the San Telmo shopping center in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria caused alarm this Tuesday when a fight escalated to shots fired with an airsoft pistol.

The event took place in the well-known San Telmo shopping center, creating moments of tension among those present. Security forces were required to control the situation.
According to reports, the altercation involved the use of an airsoft pistol, a type of weapon that does not require a license and can be freely acquired, although its use in public disturbances can lead to legal consequences.

The swift action of the officers allowed for the restoration of calm and the securing of the area, preventing the situation from escalating.

These types of incidents, even if they do not result in serious harm, do generate considerable social alarm and require the intervention of authorities to ensure public safety in public spaces.
