“Don’t shoot, please don’t shoot!” a woman shouts amid the gunfire, while the attackers, armed with pistols, shotguns and some with homemade grenades, beat and force people terrified to get to the ground.
One of them is hooded, others wear hoods and caps. Still others have their faces exposed or film themselves with their mobile phones, while several of them make the usual signs of recognition with the fingers of both hands of the criminal gangs linked to drug trafficking which are causing a reign of terror in Ecuador.
Amidst the gunfire, the broadcast of these surreal images continues live for several minutes, despite the lights on the set going out and the camera freezing. Until apparently the police intervened shouting “Police, police”.
“National police units (…) have been alerted of this criminal act and are already on the scene,” police said in a message to the press.
