In the midst of a heated debate in the sports arena of the Tomas Frias University from the Andean city of Potosí (southeast), a student activated “a gas grenade that produces an avalanche and as a result we have three people dead,” said the departmental commander of the Police, Colonel Bernardo Isnado.
The state university “is in mourning, because three university students have died as a result of this criminal disaster” and “there are 40 wounded,” said its rector, Pedro López, at a joint press conference with Colonel Isnado.
Hundreds of students were gathered in the coliseum of the house of studies to elect their new leaders, Lopez noted.
In the midst of differences between the two sides, one of the attendees threw the tear gas grenade causing panic and desperation of the hundreds of students to leave the closed place, explained the rector.
The public hospital of the mining city of 270,000 inhabitants was collapsed by the large number of injured and the arrival of desperate relatives who wanted to know about the situation of the students.
