For the second time in the same month, shots were attacked in front of the Televisión Litoral property, where Canal 3, Radio 2, FM Vida, Frecuencia Plus and the digital newspaper Rosario3.com operate. On this occasion, the gunmen fired eight shots from a red car, possibly a red Fiat Palio, which was later found on fire in Vía Honda, in the southwestern area of Rosario. At the time of the attack, there were police personnel acting as permanent guard for the previous attack that had occurred on December 12. Minutes later, they shot on foot a penitentiary located at 7800 February 27, on the west end.
The shooting occurred after 9:30 p.m., when the journalistic and technical personnel who had produced the program Telenoche Rosario, the city’s nightly newscast, were leaving the premises. No one was injured, but the impacts of the projectiles were visible in part of the masonry of the posts in front of the canal.
Witnesses claimed to have heard multiple shots, and to have seen a red Palio in the direction of downtown Rosario. As Televisión Litoral has video surveillance cameras, it was established that the vehicle came from the city of Pérez and opened fire practically without stopping. One of the shots hit the checkpoint where the surveillance personnel are, who were unharmed.
Journalists who were leaving work at Telenoche Rosario added to Infobae that before shooting, the occupants of the Red Palio even shouted a phrase that was not heard by those who were heading to the parking lot, which is on the outside of the property, where There are police custody arranged by the Public Prosecution Ministry for the previous attack.
At the scene, personnel from the 32nd police station, with jurisdiction in the area, and experts from the Criminal Investigation Agency appeared under the orders of the Shooting Prosecutor Unit of the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
In searches carried out in all points of Rosario, it was possible to find a burning red Fiat Palio in the vicinity of Cerrillos at 3900, in the southwest of Rosario, a territory marked by shooting attacks between drug gangs. The car was hijacked and will be examined to establish if it was the same one that was used for the attack against the multimedia company.
After the attack on Channel 3, another serious institutional shooting was reported. It is the one carried out by a person on foot against the prison premises where the Rosario Detainee Reception Office (Order) and the women’s prison operate. There were no detainees either and no further details were released.
This is the second shooting attack in a month against Televisión Litoral. In the previous one, a suspect wearing a helmet got out of a gray Volkswagen Up, left a note, and then fired a shot at the front of the canal.
The written cardboard left by the gunman – which was filmed – read the following: “Esteban Alvarado, Morocho Mansilla, Alan and Lamparita Funes, stop working with the prosecutors and AIC (Criminal Investigation Agency) because we are going to kill a police officer every the days, stop beating the gray hair and stop confining the kids in small pavilions, let them go up to the pavilions, you don’t mess with the mafia”.
