A home invasion style robbery (a few kilometers outside of San Juan del Sur on the road to La Virgen) resulted in one female occupant being shot. The crime occurred at about 7:30 in evening last Saturday the 11th of March as the two occupants were inside the house and answered the door to several persons who they thought were workers from a neighboring property. As they did so, several men rushed the doorway and entered the home. At one point a firearm was discharged and the female occupant was shot in the upper chest. The occupants of the house were able to escape and were taken to hospital in Rivas. Police from San Juan del Sur are investigating the crime however have not released any further information. The victim remains in hospital, and is described as in “satisfactory condition”. Security personnel are being credited for their rapid response and quick thinking actions in diffusing the situation.
