Overview
- Police say the attacker fired 11 shots at a San Germán bus in San Martín de Porres on Sunday as it slowed for a speed bump, grazing the driver’s head.
- The assailant filmed the shooting and circulated audio messages demanding S/300,000 upfront and S/150,000 monthly, issuing explicit death threats to drivers.
- The División de Investigación de Extorsiones of the PNP has cordoned the area and is leading the case, with preliminary inquiries pointing to possible foreign perpetrators.
