Spanish police have not released the names and are not expected to do so.

A local living near the scene told local paper Malaga Hoy this afternoon: “I thought they were going to kill me too.

“I thought I was hearing fireworks at first but then saw the noise was coming from someone firing a gun.”

A Chinese expat who owns a shop next to the bar told the paper: “It was about 11.30pm when I heard a noise coming from next door.

“I looked out and saw a man pointing at something and shooting.”

Saying he saw other customers run for their lives as the attack occurred and a family walking by took refuge in his shop, he added: “I didn’t look at the gunman’s face or whether he left on a motorbike or in a car, I just remember I saw the weapon.

“I was in shock, I didn’t how to react.”

Workers at a nearby beach bar and restaurant also told how how families with children took refuge inside after the shooting started.

One said: “I didn’t see anything because we focused on crouching down and staying safe, but it was a very frightening experience.

“Obviously all the customers we had left as soon as it was safe to do so.”
