A violent attempted robbery that took place on Monday night ended with one of the criminals shot dead after he tried to rob a sergeant from the Federal Operations Special Group (GEOF) of the Argentine Federal Police (PFA), in an incident recorded in the town of Monte Chingolo, within the district of Lanús. The heroic police officer, who was off duty at the time, emerged unharmed after the armed confrontation.
The incident occurred when the non-commissioned officer was returning home and was intercepted by two violent armed thieves who were riding a motorcycle. The episode took place specifically at the intersection of Coronel Álvarez and Yapeyú streets, where the suspects approached him with the intent to rob.
According to the initial judicial and police proceedings, the criminals threatened the officer, which triggered an immediate reaction from the sergeant. Faced with the dangerous situation, the GEOF member drew his service weapon, leading to an exchange of gunfire in the middle of the public roadway.

As a consequence of the confrontation, one of the dangerous assailants, 14 years old, was shot dead at the scene and remained lying in the street. Meanwhile, the second suspect managed to flee the scene and remains at large, which prompted the launch of an operation to try to locate him.
The non-commissioned officer did not suffer injuries during the shootout and was later taken to the 6th Police Station of Monte Chingolo, where the corresponding procedures were carried out in accordance with the current protocol for this type of intervention. Administrative and judicial proceedings were initiated there to officially record what had happened.

In parallel, the judiciary intervened in the case and ordered a series of expert examinations aimed at reconstructing the sequence of events. Specialized experts and internal oversight units are working on the analysis of the scene, the trajectory of the shots, and other evidentiary elements that will make it possible to determine with precision the mechanics of the confrontation.
The incident occurs in a context of concern over the serious public safety crisis affecting the province of Buenos Aires under the administration of the ultra-Kirchnerist Axel Kicillof, which appears to have no end.
