Guatemala, Deaths and Violence
Increase
At least five people died and
another 10 were wounded on
Tuesday during one of the
bloodiest attacks against a bus
of the urban transportation in
Guatemala.
The bus was traveling from the
city of Tecun Uman in the
frontier with Mexico to the
Guatemalan capital when it was
boarded by various criminals
near the department of
Suchitepequez.
According to some witnesses, a
private security agent tried to
intervene but suddenly a
shooting left the auxiliary
driver, two military engineers
and a woman dead. Another man
died in the hospital where he
was taken to.
Reports confirmed that 10 people
were wounded some of them remain
seriously hurt.
Agents of the National Police
have carried out a thorough
search in the nearest zones to
find two wounded men, assumed
members of the group of
criminals.
More than 30,000 attacks to the
urban transportation have taken
place in the first five months
of this year in the Guatemalan
capital. Despite the
governmental efforts, the
violent situation worsens and
terrifies drivers and
passengers.
