A National Police inspector lost his life this weekend at his home in Guadalajara due to an accidental self-inflicted gunshot from his service weapon, according to sources close to the case.
The agent, who worked in Madrid's Brigada Operativa de Apoyo (BOA), had a notable prior career in the Grupo Especial de Operaciones (GEO). Initial indications suggest the shot occurred while holstering the weapon, striking his femoral artery and causing massive bleeding.
At the time of the incident, the inspector was alone at home, preventing immediate aid. He could not call for help or reach a vehicle to go to a medical center, and lacked a tourniquet to stem the hemorrhage. He was found later, when it was too late to save him.
Colleagues and relatives expressed grief in police groups, highlighting his professionalism and human qualities.
