Authorities in Santiago, Chile, have responded to multiple fatal incidents involving both criminal activity and police operations.

In late October, police launched investigations into two separate shootings. In Estación Central, a man was killed by gunmen in a moving vehicle, an attack investigators suggest may be linked to criminal organizations. In the Sierra Bella sector of Santiago Centro, a shooting involving two Venezuelan citizens resulted in one death and left another person in serious condition.

By early November, a separate fatal incident occurred within the Carabineros police force in Maipú. An officer was dismissed after a colleague, Bastián Pino, died from a gunshot wound sustained in a dormitory. The incident was reportedly an accidental discharge while officers were handling a firearm. A military prosecutor is investigating the circumstances of the death.
