Perpetrator
Ángel Campo Solana, 64 lived in Liermo with his wife and children. He moved to Liermo a few years before the shooting. The municipality and the district council decided to build a playground on the land used by Solana. The land did not belong to anyone. Solana used this area for livestock, storage of various things. After the decision to build a playground was made, members of the district council and the Civil Guard demanded that the site be cleared. Solana refused to clean it because he considered it his own. The investigation found that Solana's first main goals were three members of the district council. Their relatives were accompanying victims. Then the main goals were members of the Veci family, due to quarrels and personal animosity. He shot them last. Due to the fact that the victims' houses were located far from each other, and the fact that in those parts someone often hunted with a shotgun, no one could understand what was happening. Solana was also a hunter and was often seen with a shotgun. His family wanted to buy the grave in which he shot himself, but could not, and he was buried in a nearby grave.
