On Thursday, a man was detained for allegedly trying to kill Cristina Kirchner, the vice president of Argentina, close to her Buenos Aires residence. However, the alleged assassination attempt was unsuccessful since the gun did not go off. The frightening event was captured on camera. The clip that went viral on social media showed Kirchner attempting to get away from the assailant who was shooting at the vice president from close range. The incident happened in Buenos Aires' affluent Recoleta area, the country's capital. Kirchner is charged with corruption, and some sections call for a 12-year prison term for her.
