(14 Dec 2019) Assailants in Argentina shot two British tourists while trying to rob them, killing one and seriously injuring the other, authorities said Saturday.
The attack occurred as the tourists approached a luxury hotel in the Puerto Madero area of Buenos Aires on Saturday, the Argentine news agency Telam said.
Argentine naval officials said in a statement that assailants on a motorcycle, apparently supported by accomplices in a car, tried to steal the belongings of the tourists, according to Telam.
The tourists attempted to resist, the statement said.
One was shot in the groin and the other was shot in the right lung.
Both were taken to a hospital.
Police launched an operation to find the attackers.
The British embassy said it was assisting family members of two British men after an “incident” in Buenos Aires and that it is in contact with Argentine authorities.
