Police officer 'critical' after shooting


An off-duty Defence Police Officer is in a critical condition after being shot in Gibraltar.

The incident happened yesterday afternoon at Europa Point. The officer was initially treated for his wounds on the Rock, but was then transferred to a hospital in Spain.
