In addition to the prison terms, they also have to pay 1,500 euros in compensation to one of the officers, 800 euros to the local resident, who received a face wound requiring four stitches, plus 36 euros to the second policeman.

Milagros Galán was lowering the front room shutters of her first floor apartment in a block in the Fuensanta district of Coín at 1 am last Wednesday morning when the bullets started flying.

No-one was hurt in the lightening attack and police said later they thought the bullets were intended for a gypsy family living a few doors away.

Neighbours said there had been an argument between the gypsies and some people - allegedly relatives from Fuengirola - the previous day.

Police said at least four people were involved in the attack and at least three weapons were used, including hunting shotguns.
