Ballistics Report Says Gendarme Violated Protocol in Pablo Grillo Shooting

The judge incorporated the City Police reconstruction, paving the way for Héctor Guerrero’s indagatoria on September 17.

Overview

  • The August 11 reconstruction by the City Police ballistics division, conducted with experts from both sides, found the canister was not fired at the manual’s permitted angles.
  • Test shots showed that a discharge at 45 degrees upward or 30–45 degrees downward would not have hit Grillo as it did.
  • Video recordings depict Guerrero shooting horizontally toward people, a practice explicitly prohibited for its danger.
  • The report’s conclusions contradict Patricia Bullrich’s earlier defense that the agent followed manuals and heighten scrutiny of command oversight in the operation.
  • Pablo Grillo remains hospitalized after multiple surgeries, and the pericial report now in the case file is expected to be central to upcoming judicial decisions.
