Overview

• The court-added reconstruction concludes Héctor Guerrero did not fire at the 45° upward or 30–45° downward angles mandated by the gas‑launcher manual.
• The analysis was performed on August 11 by the Policía de la Ciudad’s ballistics division with experts for both the prosecution and the defense and is now part of the case file.
• Test shots showed a compliant parabolic launch would have fallen far from the victim, including one that landed about 156 meters away, making the recorded head injury incompatible with protocol use.
• Video records cited in the case depict roughly horizontal firing toward people, a method expressly prohibited due to its danger and potential lethality.
• The report undercuts earlier public defenses, including Patricia Bullrich’s claim that the agent acted by the manual, and it strengthens the querella’s push to assess individual and possible command responsibility.
