Store guard seriously injured after being shot in the face in downtown Concepción

A security guard at the Fashion Park store was critically injured after being shot in the face during the afternoon of Monday in the center of Concepción, in the Biobío Region. The incident occurred around 5:00 PM near the Barros Arana street, where a man armed with a firearm approached the guard, fired directly at him, and then fled the scene. Police investigators from the Concepción homicide unit conducted inquiries at the scene, citing witness accounts and security camera footage indicating a prior altercation between the guard and the attacker. Preliminary reports suggest the suspect was caught red-handed attempting to steal goods from the store. The victim was taken to the Asociación Chilena de Seguridad (ACHS) hospital and remains hospitalized. The mayor of Concepción, Héctor Muñoz, expressed concern over the incident, stating it is a 'very bad news' for the city, and emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into the motives behind the attack. He noted that while preventive police deployments exist, the root cause of the violence must be determined. Muñoz also mentioned that the victim’s condition has improved, though the event could have had fatal consequences.
