28 year football fan in Bilbao dies after injury from possible rubber bullet.
According to El Pais, family members and friends have claimed that Liceranzu was shot in the head with a rubber bullet by riot police, who were trying to quell violent clashes in the city centre after the 2-2 draw.
An enquiry has been launched into the incident and police sources have reportedly claimed that the cause of death will only be known after an autopsy.

The Police's version:
"We got a call from outside a leftist radical bar saying there was a man on the ground with blood coming out of his head. We responded to the call and when we arrived we were greeted with rocks and bottles so we opened fire on the crowd. We then found the guy. We do not know if it is the same guy we were called about in the first instance"
His friends' version:
"The police arrived, started firing at us, and he went down."

Rubber bullets are sometimes rubber coated metal bullets. More than "just" hurting, they can kill, and when not lethal still can cause permanent damage.
