The unusual day when a house in Texas decided to become a sieve
It seems that the Texas residence of actress Vanessa Guzmán had an unfriendly encounter with some projectile with bad intentions this weekend. In what was undoubtedly an uplifting experience – literally, because the walls received unsolicited ventilation upgrades – the property in El Paso was hit several times by bullets, which, of course, are as common in Texas as tacos al pastor in Mexico.
The famous woman, demonstrating enviable equanimity, came out with an official statement to clarify that no, dear gossips, it was not an attack directed specifically against her person or against her son, José Eduardo. Because when your house is shot at, the first thing is to clarify that it wasn’t personal, right? “Fortunately, they are both fine,” the text says, because nothing improves your mood like bullets whistling near your heir.
The neighbor with a stormtrooper pulse
Journalist Jorge Carbajal, our favorite entertainment detective, provided the juiciest information: apparently there was a neighbor who, in a particularly unfortunate outbreak of tension, would have been “cleaning his gun” and – surprise – “some shots” escaped. Because in Texas, apparently, cleaning a gun means testing its functionality against other people’s walls. Could it be the same neighbor who asks to borrow sugar by shooting first and asking questions later?
Carbajal narrated in great detail how Guzmán’s son practiced his ground evasion technique when he heard the first shots. The young man, displaying reflexes worthy of a Marine, threw himself to the ground as his home became the target of what we can only describe as a display of questionable marksmanship. Fortunately for everyone, the shooter had the precision of a drunk on a merry-go-round.
The most curious thing is that the incident occurred while the actress was in Mexico, because even shootings respect work commitments. According to the story, Vanessa received a call during an interview, returned with her eyes swollen from shock – a detail that no official statement mentions, because who needs dramatic details when you have perforated walls? – and continued as if nothing had happened. Because in the world of entertainment, a domestic drilling attempt is no excuse for breaking protocol.
US authorities, meanwhile, are investigating whether it was really an accident with the neighbor’s gun or if someone mistook the house for a mobile shooting range. The statement asks for respect and discretion, because when your house is shot at, the last thing you want is for the press to ask uncomfortable questions like “why was your house shot at?” or “do you have enemies with bad architectural taste?”.
The actress promised that as soon as it is “possible and appropriate” she will give direct statements, which in colloquial language means: when she finishes counting the holes in the walls and calculates how much it will cost to explain to the insurance that the “unauthorized remodelers” used live ammunition.
Meanwhile, we are left with the official version: it was not an attack, it was… a particularly enthusiastic Texan greeting? A free demonstration of ballistic might? Or just the neighbor testing his right to bear arms a little too enthusiastically? Investigations continue, but the takeaway is clear: In Texas, even cleaning a gun can be an explosive experience.
