Several weeks ago, when we showed dramatic scenes from a Venezuela looting in which countless people were wounded after 5,000 looters stormed a supermarket, looking for food…
… we said that at this rate it is only a matter of time before we get the first casualty of Venezuela’s “social apocalypse.”
Unfortunately this prediction came true today when Reuters reported that a Venezuelan woman died on Monday after being shot in the face when looters raided state food warehouses in the latest unrest in the crisis-hit OPEC nation. Relatives of hotel worker Jenny Ortiz, 42, said she died in hospital after being shot during the melee late on Sunday in San Cristobal, a town near the border of Colombia, where looting and anti-government protests have been occurring in recent months.
What makes this tragedy worse is that according to the victim’s family, including her mother-in-law Carmen Rosa, 58, who said she saw the incident, that a policeman shot Ortiz. Authorities did not comment on that accusation, though local police said armed criminals had fired on police and an investigation was underway.
