They were all chatting outside a house in Manta, Ecuador. While some looked at the ground, one of the men began to play with a pistol that minutes before had been taken from inside a vehicle.

It was then that the subject who had the weapon decided to shoot into the air. However, this impacted his friend, who quickly fell to the ground, injured.
