En la noche del jueves, un carabinero que regresaba a casa tras su turno fue emboscado en La Florida, Santiago, por hombres armados que, al reconocer su condición policial, eligieron disparar en lugar de huir. Tres balas —en el pecho y en el brazo— recuerdan que el uniforme, aunque invisible, nunca termina de quitarse. El oficial sobrevivió y se recupera en el Hospital de Carabineros, pero el episodio revela una verdad incómoda: la violencia urbana ya no distingue entre el servicio y el descanso.

Increased perception of insecurity in La Florida and surrounding areas may reduce consumer spending, deter business activity, and increase demand for private security services. Property values in affected neighborhoods may face downward pressure.
