BUENOS AIRES: A man attempted to shoot Argentine Vice President Cristina Kirchner near her home in Buenos Aires on Thursday , a shocking incident that prompted a wave of sympathy from Latin American leaders.
Footage of the incident showed the man pointing a handgun at close range at Kirchner, who was the country's leader from 2007 to 2015 and is now facing corruption charges."I saw this arm come up over my shoulder behind me with a gun, and with people around me, he was subdued," a supporter of Kirchner, who did not give his name, told AFP.
"My absolute repudiation of the attack suffered by Cristina Kirchner, who fortunately was not injured," tweeted opposition leader Mauricio Macri, who was president after Kirchner.
