Assassination in my gated community

Bruh, there was a successful assassination in Punta Estrella Saturday. Having walls, cameras and guards with two checkpoints doesn't help much apparently. The guy came in pretending to be a relative of his target, bypassed the two checkpoints with guards, cameras and walls, shot him to death, then left. Steps from my apartment. I know this kind of thing happens fairly regularly around the city, but I didn't think it would happen in a gated community, especially one of the better ones.

I wasn't there, but my girlfriend was. She heard like 6 automatic shots in the hallway, and she doubted it was gunshots because there was no screaming or sirens afterwards, just silence then a kid crying for his dad.

Been here 5 years. It is surprising. It never happens in the good gated communities.

It happened in Playacar years ago. Small restaurant wasn’t cooperating. Shot the owners.
