An agent of the Federal Police (PFA) attacked his ex-girlfriend, also a police officer, and two other applicants from the same force, including Ulises González Dos Santos (29), hospitalized in serious condition and for whom relatives ask for prayer chains.
The attempted femicide occurred last Tuesday in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Agronomía and one of the most serious injuries was the partner of the aggressor, Camila Soledad Juárez (26).
Investigators believe that he shot to kill them because he believed that the woman was with the young missionary, with whom she was walking at the time of the violent episode.
The attacker was identified as Alberto Gustavo Bargas Orellana, who ended up being detained at the scene.
In the center
The shooting occurred at the intersection of Nazca and Beiró avenues, and in addition to Juárez and the missionary González Dos Santos, Cinthia Santa Cruz was injured, referred to a sanatorium in the area although she was out of danger.
Witnesses immediately alerted 911. The Buenos Aires City Police showed up and arrested Orellana while the victims of the attack were taken to different hospitals.
According to sources in the case to Infoabe, Juárez, who was Orellana’s partner, was shot twice in the abdomen and was admitted to the Tornú hospital in a very serious condition.
Santa Cruz, meanwhile, was injured in the hip and was also referred to the same medical center, while the missionary González Dos Santos was admitted to Churruca, where he is with a reserved prognosis as a result of an injury in the abdominal area.
According to the main hypothesis, the policeman shot his ex-partner because he believed that he had been unfaithful to him with González Dos Santos, who in this context was shot like the other young woman.
According to Infobae, witnesses mentioned that “the attacker crossed his ex-partner and his colleagues and just saw that the woman was holding her partner’s hand.” And they expanded: “So, he took the weapon out of him and began to fire the shots.” There were six times that he fired.
The National Criminal and Correctional Court No. 5, in charge of Dr. Manuel De Campo, intervened in the event, who ordered the arrest of the aggressor and the seizure of the weapon and the six pods served.
