A 29-year-old man fired a pellet gun at two workers at the Konecta location inside Malaga Tech Park on a Friday afternoon. The suspected assailant had been employed by the company previously and had left in December. The incident occurred around 5:40 p.m. when the individual entered the building and opened fire, resulting in minor injuries that did not require hospitalization, according to the National Police (Source: National Police).
Authorities were alerted by the 112 Andalusian Emergency Service after multiple calls reporting possible shootings. Police officers, supported by local law enforcement and emergency medical personnel, responded to the Konecta site on Severo Ochoa street. At this stage, no arrests have been reported and the investigation remains active (Source: Local Authorities).
Initial reactions among staff centered on concerns about building security. Some workers pointed to the absence of a security guard at the entrance as a factor in the incident. The company later issued statements condemning the violence and emphasizing the need for enhanced access controls (Source: Konecta communications).

One employee, who requested anonymity, described being in a room adjacent to the incident. He told a local outlet the event unfolded shortly before six p.m. He heard screams and then saw people fleeing down the stairs.

Blood was visible on the office floor, and witnesses reported the scene included injured coworkers and frantic movements as people sought cover under furniture. The worker noted that gunfire caused widespread fear, with staff calling for police, health services, and company leadership while trying to remain calm (Source: On-site testimonies).
According to the witness, two workers sustained injuries to the head and leg, with one victim facing a critical risk to vision due to a facial shot. The account described emergency responders treating the injured on-site before transport to medical facilities (Source: Internal employee interview).
