41. As a result of this incident, two people were injured, Mrs. Silvia Gonzales with a bullet wound to the head, and Mr. Luna López, with a bullet lodged in his back.63 42. The injured were assisted by passersby. Mr. Luna López handed his gun to Oscar Palacios, City Councilman, and several documents to Mayor Salgado. Subsequently the injured were lifted into the Mayor’s vehicle and taken to the health center (in Catacamas) known as the Campos Clinic. Mr. Fausto Rovelo got into his car and followed the Mayor Salgado’s vehicle.64 43. According to witness statements, upon arrival they found that the Campos Clinic was closed, so they then took the wounded to the San Francisco Hospital in Juticalpa. However, realizing that the Mayor’s vehicle was low on fuel, they transferred the wounded to Mr. Fausto Rovelo’s vehicle and continued to the hospital.65 44. Upon arrival at San Francisco Hospital in Juticalpa, approximately 45 minutes away from the Campos Clinic, the doctor who assisted them informed them that Mr. Luna López had died and that Silvia Gonzales was in critical condition. For this reason she was sent by ambulance to Tegucigalpa to receive medical care.66 A second doctor removed a small bullet from Mr. Luna López’s back and gave it to his son, César Augusto Luna Valle.67 63 Cf.
