José Ulysse, Director of the Fontaine Hospital Center, denied reports that heavily armed individuals entered this medical center and took patients under hostage. "There was no hostage-taking. There was a gang war around the hospital, preventing anyone inside from leaving the premises, there were neighboring houses set on fire [...] all the health personnel were is sheltered [...] we had to call the police so that they could come and help us to evacuate all the people who could not move [...]"
