The young biology student who shot down his faculty in Vizcaya this Wednesday had meticulously prepared his particular revenge against the University of the Basque Country (UPV).

The university student obtained a weapons license before classes resumed, located a shotgun on an internet portal and formalized the acquisition of the weapon with the Civil Guard.

It is a

or sliding shotgun

that belonged to an

, unrelated to the use that the university student carried out just hours later.

With that weapon that the Ertzaintza also uses as a police force, he began shooting windows, walls and a car on the Leioa campus.

In just 40 minutes, the Mobile Brigade units, Explosives or Citizen Security agents supported by a helicopter located the young university student when he was trying to leave the college that he had shot with the second-hand shotgun.

The Ertzaintza has not revealed the identity of the young man who, according to sources in the investigation, is collaborating with the Basque Police to clarify the reasons that prompted him to fire about 40 shots with cartridges that his classmates, in class, interpreted as firecrackers.

contributed the shotgun and the gun guide to the Civil Guard's Weapons and Intervention Service.

After saying goodbye to the seller, the 21-year-old went to a shooting range in Gallarta where he tested the shotgun before going to the UPV campus.

There, with his shotgun hidden in a guitar case and 75 cartridges bought at Decathlon, he spread terror with his shots among students and teachers.
