A drunk marine killed an elderly woman and injured an indigenous teenager Sunday night because incumbent Juan Manuel Santos won Colombia’s presidential election, according to Colombia’s National Navy and local media.

The town in Barrancominas, Guainia was terrorized following the electoral victory of incumbent Juan Manuel Santos in Colombia’s presidential elections, according to Colombia’s Semana newsmagazine.

“Corporal Vergara was drunk and upset because Santos had won. In the middle of a discussion with another marine, the rain of bullets began and didn’t stop for a long time,” recounted a local resident, according to Semana.

Colombia’s Navy wrote a Monday press release in which they state “there was a dispute between Corporal Cristiam Vergara Espinosa and Corporal Hector Pinzon Neira, from the 50th Marine Infantry Battalion.” The National Navy states they are “deeply sorry that during the events in question, a resident was injured and killed, 70 year old Maria Justina Gonzales.”
