Following the 11 March bomb attacks in Madrid, as the country was still feeling the aftershocks, an off-duty police officer killed Ángel Berroeta, the 61-year-old owner of a baker's shop in Pamplona (Navarre) shooting him four times. The shooting reportedly took place when the officer went to the shop with his wife, after the baker and the officer's wife had a strong argument over the authorship of the Madrid attacks, and Berroeta refused to allow her to put up a sticker that read "No to ETA, no to terrorism". The officer was arrested after he called the police.
