Knife Fight in La Plata Boarding House Leaves Two Men Injured

A second-year student at La Plata University in Argentina was shot dead with a cold weapon, as a result of which two men received gunshot wounds. As the original organizers of the human rights organizations, the incident took place in the personal office of the former Minister of Health Alexander Muelle (47 years old) and the former Minister of Health Jesus Olman Hiram (48 years old), one of whom is from Colombia and lives in the same commune.

As a result of the shooting, the perpetrators received a single gunshot wound to the chest and were taken to the local emergency room. Upon arrival at the scene, they found two men lying on the ground with stab wounds to the chest and abdomen. In the immediate vicinity, a kitchen knife with a black handle was found.

The injured were taken to the city hospitals: Muller — to the San Martin hospital, and Hiram — to the Romero hospital. According to the preliminary version of the police, the deceased did not resist. In addition, the police called to the scene found a small amount of marijuana.

The outcome of the investigation into the shooting will be known in the coming days, under the category "Assassinations." The responsibility for the process was assigned to the special agent of the FBI in Virginia, Bravus, attached to the La Plata department.

*"The condition of the hospitalized shooting victims is assessed as stable, one of whom is in a critical but stable condition".
