Overview
- The driver Luis Ángel Santiago López was wounded Wednesday when gunmen opened fire on a Santo Cristo de Pachacamilla (line 10E) bus in Lurín and he was taken to Hospital de Emergencias Villa El Salvador where doctors stabilized him.
- Witnesses said attackers posed as passengers, fired multiple shots at the vehicle near block 16 of Avenida Zarumilla, and fled with a blue car seen near the scene.
- Authorities set up a perimeter at the scene and are treating the October 28 shooting as linked to extortion claims made by Etrascpsa drivers about a criminal group calling itself 'Los Trujillanos'.
- This is the second attack on the same company in less than a month after a October 7 shooting in Pachacámac that left no injuries but produced 11 shell casings, and the operator has suspended services over safety fears.
- Investigators will aim to confirm the attackers' identities, whether the incidents are coordinated extortion attempts, and whether renewed attacks or wider service disruptions follow, which could further affect drivers, passengers and local mobility.
