A YOUNG man has been left fighting for his life after being shot four times in Mijas.

According to official reports, the shooting took place at around 10.45pm, on Saturday night, 22 October, in the vicinity of Belinda beach, on the Calahonda residential development when the 112 Andalucia emergency service control centre received a call from an eyewitness who reported a shooting in the area.
