Córdoba: Police thwarted a robbery during a shootout and saved lives in the René Favaloro neighborhood

The growing wave of insecurity in Córdoba added a new and serious incident next weekend, when a police officer was approached by four armed motorcycle thieves while he was off duty in civilian clothes in the René Favaloro Sud neighborhood.

The incident took place at 3600 Pública Street, where the criminals—divided between two motorcycles—attempted to rob the officer, who was off duty. Far from surrendering, the brave officer replied with his service weapon.

Youth crime

During the exchange of gunfire, one of the criminals—a 13-year-old minor—was shot in the abdomen and was transported by a 107 service ambulance to the Children's Hospital.

The officer was also hit by a bullet in the shoulder, although only superficially. According to police sources, his condition is not serious. The other three strikers fled the scene.

For some time now, violent youth crime has been on the rise, and progressivism still refuses to acknowledge it. Instead, it is the police officer—often without political or judicial support—who must literally put his body on the line to protect himself and others.
