Narrative:A CASA C-212 Aviocar passenger plane, operated by the Peruvian domestic airline Aerochasqui, was destroyed when it crashed shortly after takeoff from Bellavista Airport (BLP), Peru. All fifteen on board were killed.
It appeared that five police officers of the National Police's Anti-Subversive Detachment had opened fire on the aircraft as it was taking off. The bullets hit the pilot, co-pilot, passenger cabin and parts of the aircraft. Control was lost and the aircraft crashed.
The policemen were controlling and searching the vehicles that passed on the road near the airport. Upon noticing that the aircraft was preparing for departure, they raised their arms trying to stop it with the purpose of carrying out a cargo and passenger control.
When they did not succeed in stopping the aircraft they started firing their weapons.
