According to the report, the act of violence occurred inside an extra-urban bus that was headed to San José Nacahuil.
Lifeguards located the bus at the entrance to the San Julián village, zone 6 of Chinautla, because, according to preliminary information, the pilot decided to continue the journey in search of help.
