30日午後1時過ぎ、神戸市の住宅街で発砲事件が2件相次ぎ、計2人が撃たれた。兵庫県警によると、中央区では会社経営の男性(58)が死亡し、兵庫区では男性(54)が重傷を負ったとみられるが、意識はあるという。

県警は30日、兵庫区の事件に関与したとして、無職の亀谷直人容疑者(79)=神戸市中央区=を殺人未遂容疑で緊急逮捕し、発表した。

県警によると、亀谷容疑者は調べに容疑を認め、中央区の事件への関与もほのめかしているという。

捜査関係者によると、亀谷容疑者は元暴力団組員で、県警は両事件の関連を調べている。

県警によると、1件目は中央区坂口通5丁目の路上で起きた。

午後1時15分ごろ、通行人から「銃声のような音がした。人が倒れている」と110番通報があり、赤田正行さん=神戸市東灘区=が病院に搬送されたが、約1時間後に死亡が確認された。県警が亀谷容疑者との関係を調べている。

2件目は午後1時25分ごろ、約4.5キロ南西の兵庫区荒田町3丁目の民家の敷地に止まっていた乗用車内で起きた。

亀谷容疑者の逮捕容疑は、この車の中で、一緒に乗っていた男性=神戸市東灘区、職業確認中=に向けて拳銃を発射し、殺害しようとしたというもの。

男性は右脇腹付近を撃たれて重傷を負ったとみられるが、意識はあるという。

午後2時過ぎ、通行人の110番通報を受けて駆けつけた警察官が、兵庫区の現場近くの路上にいた亀谷容疑者を職務質問し、関与を認めたため緊急逮捕したという。拳銃1丁も押収した。県警は事件に使われたものとみている。

民家や車の所有者は第三者だった。県警は関係者の証言などから、亀谷容疑者と男性は面識があり、何らかの事情で一緒に兵庫区の現場に移動してきた可能性があるとみて、両事件の背景や経緯を調べている。

「計4発くらい聞こえた」
