One Dead in House of Horrors
The House of Horrors at the Changuinola Fair proved to be a dangerous place on Wednesday night.
According to the province of Bocas del Toro police reports, Carlos Alberto Santamaria dangerously brandished a knife and threatened the House of Horror crowd. When police sergeant Samuel Arias intervened, Santamaria slashed his arm and disarmed him. He then fired off a few shots with the policeman’s gun, injuring a 17-year-old bystander in the process.
Another police agent came to the rescue and fired at Santamaria, who in the end was pulled lifeless from the Changuinola House of Horror.
Festivities continued after the incident.
