Buenos Aires, April 7 (NA) -- A female non-commissioned officer of the Argentine Federal Police, who was traveling as a passenger in a rideshare vehicle through the Almagro neighborhood, fired inside the car, leaving the other four occupants with varying degrees of injuries. On Tuesday, she suffered a judicial setback, as preventive detention was ordered against her. Judicial sources informed the Argentine News Agency that the measure was ordered following the investigation conducted by the West Flagrancy Unit of the City's Public Prosecutor's Office, led by Assistant Prosecutor Catalina Neme. The hearing took place on Tuesday and was presided over by Judge Julia Correa of the Criminal, Contravention, and Misdemeanor Court No. 22, who ordered that the officer remain detained for the crime of attempted homicide and aggravated injuries due to the use of a weapon. Meanwhile, a new hearing was set for May 5. The assistant prosecutor had immediately detained the accused, who belongs to the Federal Police's Strategic Custody Division and was on her way to take up her service at the time of the incident. The strange episode occurred last Thursday morning at the intersection of Belgrano Avenue and Maza Street, when passengers shared a ride in a rideshare car, according to police sources confirmed to NA. Thus, after 8:00 a.m., a woman who is a first sergeant of the Federal Police got into the vehicle in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Liniers, where there were already two men and a woman coming from the Buenos Aires town of Moreno. During the journey, sources in the case preliminarily indicated that the non-commissioned officer 'began to feel unwell and asked the driver to stop the vehicle,' but the subject refused. At that moment, the woman believed she could be a victim of some type of illicit act, so she fired shots, injuring all the passengers. Upon the arrival of officers, the men stated they did not know each other, so the reasons why the officer fired are under investigation. The injured were a 50-year-old man who was driving and was shot in the chest and back, another man, 33, who was in the front passenger seat and was shot in the left side of the chest, and both were transferred to the Ramos Mejía Hospital. Additionally, in the back seat, a 50-year-old man was shot in the left leg and a 30-year-old woman, who was in the middle and was shot in the left arm, right leg, and abdomen, and the two were taken to the Penna Hospital. IP 'The most serious would be the vehicle driver with a gunshot wound to the chest and back,' they emphasized. #AgenciaNA
