The uniformed man is admitted to the intensive care unit of the Ambato General Hospital.
Cristian Mauricio Ch. M., second corporal of the Police, is this Sunday with a “reserved prognosis” at the Ambato General Teaching Hospital, a center where he arrived wounded last Saturday with a bullet impact in his head. According to the investigations, the uniformed man would have shot himself.
Personnel from this medical home, who requested that his identity be reserved, said that the policeman entered on Saturday morning with a gunshot wound, with entry and exit holes, in a coma. “He had abundant blood loss and brain mass exposure,” they said at the hospital.
In the conditions in which the uniformed man arrived, they explained, he was not going to tolerate surgery. Therefore, they added, emergency care protocols were followed and he was admitted to the intensive care unit, where he is on ventilation. In other words, the police officer would be “brain dead.”
In the police report, Yadira Carolina PC assured that she had recently ended a sentimental relationship with the uniformed man and that, while the corporal was out at dawn on Saturday, she contacted her when she was drinking with some friends in the Cevallos canton. Until there, he added, he went to visit her.

After completing the patrol shift, Cristian along with another uniformed man, according to the testimony, would have left in a private vehicle with her in order to fix things between the couple. First, he narrated, they reached the La Moya sector, in Pelileo, but they stayed for about ten minutes.
According to the woman’s account, on the way back the discussions between the two continued until reaching the Uniandes, Terremoto sector. There, he asserted, the policeman presumably pulled out his supply weapon and threatened to shoot himself. She thought it was a joke, as indicated in the part, so she did not care. However, he later observed that he shot himself in the head, he added.
At that moment, he indicated in his story, he asked the friend of the uniformed man – who was presumably driving the vehicle – to go to the hospital, because he was still breathing. (I)
