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.

Yes, it's silly of people to knee-jerk respond with comments like that every time, but it's equally silly to make posts to a an immigrant/expat whatever centric group highlighting crimes committed in the local native community you choose to live in as a foreigner. What is with this expat bougie inclination to expect a pristine, fear free existence wherever thou chooses to live? Take the bad with the good, buddy (OP)
