Robbery in Santiago – level 3
21-02-2023 15:00
Three individuals aged 16, 17, and 20 entered a watch shop in Greater Santiago at midday, threatening staff and robbing several items. They went on to attack a woman and steal her car.
Later, the woman anonymously told the local media that she did not want to give them her car and even kicked them twice. They punched her and she gave up when they showed her that they had a gun.
The incident continued on the road with police chasing the stolen car. One police officer filmed as police surrounded the armed robbers. The police eventually managed to stop the vehicle and arrest the suspects, but only after one of them was shot.
Difficult words: Greater (including nearby areas), chase (try to catch), armed (having a gun), suspect (=perpetrator – a person who did a crime).

What are the possible consequences of the actions of the three individuals?
