Answer

Can a shotgun fired into the air still be treated as a serious offence in Mallorca?

Yes. Even if a weapon is not aimed at anyone, firing it in a public street can create danger, panic and potential legal consequences. In Mallorca, the seriousness of the case will depend on the circumstances, including whether the weapon was legal and how the police classify the act. The fact that no one was directly hit does not make the incident harmless.
