Crime scene. Multiple gunmen burst into the Espacio Panama in Casco Viejo, where a Halloween party was underway, opening fire. At least one person in the club shot back. Eleven partiers were shot, four of them fatally. One of the gunman was also shot and killed at the scene. Other gunmen escaped in an SUV. The police trophy photo showed two light-skinned men under arrest and an expensive car and pistol confiscated in Las Acacias. Police say they are looking for other suspects. The next morning the Cortizo administration weighed in as to blame, with Vice Minister of Commerce Omar Montilla pointing out that Espacio Panama, a community center in part of the old Santa Ana Church whose courtyard has been used for event for many years, did not have a liquor license and was not licensed as a discotheque.
