As happens every weekend, residents of the neighborhood South Hill They enjoyed Sunday afternoon in the Plaza de Gianelli and Garcia Lorcaa place painted green and yellow where Aldosivi fans gather and, in addition, children and adolescents play soccer or basketball and a murga rehearses and animates the atmosphere so that there is a party atmosphere, on the field.
Nevertheless Last Sunday, after 7:00 p.m. while the murga -an “official” artistic expression of “La Pesada”, a characteristic wing of the Aldosivi bar- began to shake the drum heads and prepared to put on a show, the party atmosphere suddenly darkened: four or Five men – witnesses differ in their accounts – appeared in the Plaza de García Lorca at 4900 (located next to School No. 64) and shot at the people who were there.
Three young people, Aldosivi fans aged 20, 21 and 23, and identified with the club, were injured. There was also an 11-year-old boy who was playing in the square and a bullet hit him in the leg. In addition, a dog was hit by a bullet and was killed. Witnesses assured that the animal was a “hero” since it would have covered a 2-year-old boy who was in the square.
“The attack was insane, they shot to kill“said a woman who was present. It was a few seconds, the noise of the shots silenced the murga and, after the attack, everything was chaos: cries of gunshot wounds, frightened children, neighbors desperate to understand what had happened.
The aggressors left after the attack and the victims, except for one of the oldest (he left the place by his own means), were taken by the people who were there to the Health Center No. 2, located in October 12 to 4400.
A call to 911 alerted the police to what had happened and personnel from the third police station went to the Health Center. Upon arrival, one of the victims had left, while the two youths were identified and gave their testimonies and also took a statement from the child’s mother.
Due to the complexity of the injuries, the 23-year-old was transferred in a SAME ambulance to the Interzonal Hospital, with gunshot wounds to the leg and arm. The minor, on his part, was taken to the Materno Infantil, where he underwent surgery on his leg since the bullet fractured a bone.
Scientific police experts worked in the Plaza de la Escuela 64, looking for ballistic accidents and other types of elements that could serve to identify the aggressors. At least identify them officially, since those who were present know who they were and what is said in Aldosivi is that a group wants to take control of the club’s barra brava. “Already in the last game there was a fight inside the stands and they promised each other revenge. So since they know they get together on Sundays, they went by and shot. Crazy,” said a source consulted by this medium.
The incident is being investigated by the prosecutor. Leandro Arevalowho in this first stage described it as “weapon abuse”.
“We are afraid Today we can tell about it, but it could have been something worse and tragic,” the mother of the shot child told LA CAPITAL, adding: “No one called us, we know what’s up with this. But we want them to pay for what they did this“.
In the last hours, the networks echoed the aggression and a request for solidarity was started to help the baby’s family. “We need the help of everyone who can collaborate with whatever it takes for the expenses of the baby’s family. Come on, you’re not lonely daddy, all the people of Aldosivi are really going to help you “, they published on social networks.
