Claudia López spoke through her Twitter account about the events that occurred in the last hours in Bogotá.
“What happened last night in Bogotá is not only regrettable, it is perhaps one of the most serious things that have happened in the city. Last night there was indiscriminate use of weapons,” said Claudia López.
The Mayor’s Office report indicates:
Deceased: 6 persons
Andrés Felipe Rodríguez (23 years old): Shot in the chest – Attended at the Simón Bolívar Hospital
Julieth Ramírez Mesa (18 years old): Shot in the chest – Received at the CAPS of Suba La Gaitana without vital signs
Jaider Alexander Fonseca (17 years old): Wounded by a firearm – He died in the Children’s Cardio
Fredy Alexander Mahecha (20 years old): Shot in the thorax – Died at Suba Hospital
Germán Puentes (25 years old): Shot in the thorax – Died at Suba Hospital
Julián Mauricio González (27 years old): Wounded by a firearm – Died at Kennedy Hospital
Wounded
There are also 36 gunshot wounded. And 58 wounded in total.
“That is the equivalent of a combat, one does not have 58 wounded in one night due to fights, but due to the indiscriminate use of fire by the Bogotá Police,” said López, adding “We are rebuilding with the families, with the witnesses, with the victims, what exactly happened. ”
However, he made a call: “Destroying Bogotá is not going to fix the Police, we have to unite and work hard.”
But he also sent an alert to President Iván Duque: “Mr. President, we have serious and solid evidence of the use of firearms by members of the Bogotá Police.”
This is no longer even police abuse, if no one gave orders to the Police to use firearms, why did they do it, what kind of training do they receive?
In the middle of her pronouncement, the mayor insisted on the need for the Police Reform and demanded that firearms not be used in the social protest.
“I was in the command of the Metropolitan Police of Bogotá, our Secretary of Security coordinated the PMU, our Secretary of Government assisted the National PMU, I can say with absolute certainty that the use of firearms against the protesters, “insisted López.
“141 complaints of police abuse so far this year in Bogotá are not isolated cases. I ask the National Police to humbly acknowledge the seriousness of what happened, and apologize to the citizens and the victims,” said López.
Trust in the use of force by security agencies today is not broken, it is broken
López had already trilled about the events that occurred last night in Bogotá and its surroundings.
Last night I was at the MEBOG from 8:45 pm to 1:30 am coordinating District PMU.
No one gave an order to use firearms, much less indiscriminately. But we have evidence from several places where this happened. We are reconstructing events with victims and relatives– Claudia López 👍 (@ClaudiaLopez) September 10, 2020

In several complaints known to CityTv, citizens say that the Police opened fire at various points.
The Secretary of Government, Luis Ernesto Gómez, referred to a particular episode: the one surrounding the death of 16-year-old Jaider Fonseca in Verbenal (Usaquén).
“I was with Mauren, the wife of the 17-year-old boy who lost his life. Mauren told us ‘we don’t need a reward, I saw how a policeman shot my husband, the father of my seven-month-old boy’ … we have to tell us the truth. That is why we must carry out an exercise in self-criticism, what is not working well in the National Police? “, asked the Secretary.
