The Villatina Massacre was a massacre of eight children and one young adult by the Colombian police that took place on November 15, 1992. Colombian policemen had been killed by youth gangs before the massacre took place, and the Colombian police were attempting to exact revenge against the gangs by carrying out the massacre. None of the victims of the massacre were gang members; they were all members of a Christian organization.
