The Ertzaintza finds in Irún the bodies of two men killed by shotgun fire

The bodies of two men with gunshot wounds were found this Thursday in a farmhouse in Irún, in the rural area of ​​Olaberria. Apparently, the two deaths would have occurred as a result of a discussion about the management of a business. One of the men would have shot the other with a shotgun and, later, would have committed suicide.

The Security Minister, Josu Erkoreka, has specified that the two men had impacts produced by a firearm, specifically by a shotgun, although he has considered it premature to provide more details of this tragic event pending the results of the first investigations.

"It cannot be guaranteed one hundred percent that they are crossed deaths. The origin of the shot in both cases remains to be confirmed. It could be crossed or we could find ourselves facing a murder and a suicide. All hypotheses are open," he pointed out in the corridors of the Basque Parliament.

Also, in the absence of the identifications, he has indicated that "it seems that they are two people from the environment, from the rural area."

The event occurred in the Irundarra neighborhood of Olaberria, a rural area located on the slopes of Peñas de Aia.

Agents of Citizen Protection and the Bizkor Immediate Reaction group have gone to the place, where they have certified the discovery of the two corpses and have verified that both had wounds produced by a firearm.

Territorial investigation resources from the Gipuzkoa Ertzaintza have also been mobilized, working to try to clarify the circumstances of this event, the Basque Department of Security has reported.
