Argentine lawmaker in critical condition after shooting

(10 May 2019) Argentine lawmaker Héctor Olivares remained in a critical condition on Friday, medical officials said, one day after being targeted in a shooting attack in Buenos Aires that left another provincial official dead. Olivares and Miguel Marcelo Yadón were shot on Thursday near the country's congressional building by gunmen in a parked car in one of the most brazen political attacks to take place in the South American country since it returned to democracy in 1983. Olivares, who is a representative of La Rioja province in Argentina's lower house of congress, was being treated for gunshot wounds that pierced his abdomen and affected vital organs. Pablo Rossini, subdirector of Ramos Mejía Hospital, said his condition was critical. Yadón, a coordinator who works in the fiduciary of La Rioja's federal electric transportation system, died shortly after being shot. Officials said Friday that at least six people were detained as investigators were seeking to determine a possible motive behind the crime. Politicians across the political spectrum have condemned the attack. Olivares belongs to the Radical Civic Union party of the ruling government coalition and is also part of the transportation committee in the lower house. Before he was shot, he had been discussing a bill against hooliganism in Argentine soccer, which produces some of the world's best players but is plagued by entrenched corruption and violence.
