In the late afternoon of Thursday, September 1, a 35-year-old man shot him two shots a short distance away with a 38-caliber pistol. The bullets did not come out and that is how Argentine Vice President Cristina Fernández saved her life when she was returning home.
In the midst of the people who crowded into her house to greet her, was the attacker Fernando Sabag Montiel, nicknamed “Tedi” wanted to kill her, he pressed the trigger of the gun twice and the bullets did not come out. When he saw the gun, the vice president took her head in both hands.
The attacker was immediately arrested. It is presumed that “Tedi”, who was trembling, badly pulled the slide back, the bullet did not enter the chamber and that saved the vice president’s life.
