Florentino Herguedas Carretero

Description

Florentino Herguedas was standing at a bus stop in the Carabanchel district. He was in uniform and on his way to work. A young man approached him and asked him for help, saying that there had been a serious accident. The Commissioner went with him, but when they rounded the corner of Calle Camino de la Laguna, he was shot at point-blank range. The bullet travelled through the back of his head, exiting on the left-hand side. Florentino was taken in an Armed Police patrol car to the Gómez Ulla Hospital, where he died. Some days later, GRAPO claimed responsibility for his killing.
