The incident was criticized by the lawyer and Ombudsman for Children, Patricia Muñoz, who said that they will present the corresponding legal actions against those responsible for shooting in an “absolutely unjustified and excessive manner.”
“They are injuries of a reserved nature. We hope that it will not have a vital consequence. This situation is yet another manifestation of the horror represented by the state violence exercised by those who protect children and adolescents by attacking them improperly. We ask the Government to take measures so that the Carabineros stops acting in this way. The victims have been the most vulnerable, those who are in a residence. This must stop now, “he added.
