However, the officers’ version of events differs drastically from that given by Lopez’ wife and their neighbor.
According to Linares, Lopez’ spouse, there was no yelling, and her husband was not armed when he answered the door. All she heard was a series of gunshots shortly after her husband had gotten up, with no instructions being uttered. The couple’s neighbor stated something similar, denying that any yelling had occurred.
As bad as this already sounds, it gets worse: The officers who shot Lopez were at the wrong house. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
