Overview
- The San Cristóbal school shooting, which unfolded Monday morning during flag-raising, left 13-year-old Ian Cabrera dead and eight classmates wounded as a 15-year-old classmate fired a shotgun hidden in a guitar case.
- Officials say the teen is a non-punishable minor under current law, so he was moved to a protective facility in Santa Fe while reviews continue because the new reform that lowers the age of criminal responsibility to 14 has not yet taken effect.
- Defense lawyers report the boy was in psychiatric treatment with a history of self-harm, and most injured students have been discharged with one 13-year-old stable at the province’s main pediatric hospital.
- Separately in Córdoba, the provincial high court rejected Morena Rial’s last appeals and merged three 2022 cases, clearing the way for an oral trial that prosecutors warn could lead to an effective prison term.
- In Rosario, a 35-year-old identified as Ángel Exequiel Ojeda was shot dead late Monday, and officials noted his prior link to the 2021 Piñero prison escape by Claudio “Morocho” Mansilla with no arrests yet reported.
