1 AM Attack At STI

I usually arrive at STI at night, my daughter and her husband wait for me, they bring the SUV for me then I drive to their house where we have a fellowship in family.
They are the only ones who knows about my arrival.

I see I created your question. No, the source is the driver. If you have stayed at El Neptuno good chance you rode with him from one of the airports. Herman (German in Spanish) Garcia.
Nothing that's been posted (other than free speach allows us to see who the idiots are) regarding this incident makes much sense.
For the third and final time, I am not accusing Ken of fabricating this story but let me just say this. I have a neighbor living in my building who has been a taxi driver here in Santiago at night for the last six years. He picks up and drops off at STI about 10 times a week. He also has a cousin who works in STI customs.
I asked him about this a few minutes ago..
His response?
Told me no. Didn't happen and if it ever did happen as stated, involving a tourist, regardless of which airport highway or time of day, it would make national headlines.
Again, not calling this fella a liar but I'm not getting my info from someone who doesn't have clue what he's talking about either.
That's the RIGHT Move in this Scenario , and the Cabanas are pretty close .
I agree with prev posters that this sounds like a setup, not some random shooting involving a Tourist who just got off the place .. . Leaving STI at 3 am I would have absolutely no concern that some random car is going to start shooing at my Taxi's Tires . that is just ridiculous .. I refuse to live in Fear like t hat . there is a lot more to this story . not on page 4 yet , maybe someone already found it .
I have a question ?
Did the " Shooter" flatten any of the tires ? or did all the Shots MISS ?
. cuz the driver drove all the way back to the Airport , no ?
maybe someone was sending a message . and the guy obviously took the next plane home , so message received .
interesting story , none the less .. but kind of odd
and I have ZERO " inner circle " knowledge , nor am I arguing with anyone
thanks for bringing it to us

I love these threads, its similar to the old fat guy who brings a young honey back to his casa de particular and is shocked when he gets robbed 2 days later
Just logged in first time since since last week . I flew in to STI that Thurs evening (actually 3 am Fri) and I can verify that everyone at the airport was talking about this incident.
I don't know whats the full details of the shooting incident, but the POLITUR at STI was telling the drivers to be careful as they picked up passengers. My taxi driver of 14 years, knew another taxi driver from Sosua who was heading back after dropping off a pasenger and he waited until I arrived so he wouldnt have to go alone. We went in tandem the tourist route.
I wish I had paid more attention to give more info, but to be honest I hear so many things that at times I pay them no mine. I didn't question or ask for more details, just fell asleep in the taxi the whole way
Now that I think about it, it may give me pause to use STI next time, it had been nearly a year since I used STI as lately it's been all POP with me travelling less because of the Covid pandemia.

At that time of the night it doesn't matter which road is used to go from Santiago to Puerto Plta. You will feel like you're the only one on any road in the country.
