Footage shows the moment the Vice President, surrounded by a mob of supporters, found herself face-to-face with the loaded weapon.
“A man pointed a firearm at her head and pulled the trigger,” the president said in a national broadcast following the incident. He said the firearm was loaded with five bullets but “didn’t fire even though the trigger was pulled.” Police said the gunman, who local media identified as a 35-year-old Brazilian man, has been taken into custody.
Video circulating on social media shows the gun emerging from the crowd, and Ms Fernández de Kirchner ducking to avoid it – covering her ears as she crouched. A police spokesperson earlier told Reuters news agency that a weapon was found a few metres from the scene after the man had been arrested.
