The would-be assassin, whose gun jammed when he went to shoot Argentina’s vice president, is reportedly a 35-year-old Brazilian man with a Nazi tattoo.
Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner was greeting supporters outside her home in Buenos Aires on Thursday night (September 1) when a man in the crowd pointed a handgun in her face.
The weapon was loaded with five bullets, according to reports, but failed to discharge when the trigger was pulled, sparing the 69-year-old vice president’s life.
