The shooter’s words as he was being taken into custody were ‘Now I am satisfied’.

The shooter has now been arrested by the Catalan regional police, Los Mossos d’Esquadra. He has been named as 57 year old Pere P.P., who lives with his father in Sant Esteve d’en Bas, and who has no previous record.

A witness told Europa Press that the man involved was ‘strange’ and that he would often leave his work dressed as ‘sherrif’ complete with fake pistol and sherrif’s badge"
