Overview
- A bus carrying River Plate supporters was intercepted and attacked in Quilmes Oeste after the match, with the assault starting as stone-throwing and escalating when two people on a motorcycle opened fire.
- The shooting left three men wounded by gunfire and two others with blunt-trauma injuries, and all were taken to UPA N°17 for emergency care.
- The three people hit by bullets are out of immediate danger but will need surgeries to recover mobility, hospital sources reported.
- The case was filed as "lesiones y abuso de armas" and assigned to Unidad Funcional de Instrucción N°6 in Quilmes, with local police saying the attackers likely belong to a faction of Quilmes’ barra brava and no arrests yet.
- Investigators say the probe is hindered by the absence of CCTV in the La Cañada/Arroyo Las Piedras area on the Quilmes–Almirante Brown boundary, highlighting the wider risk supporters face during post-match transit in peripheral neighborhoods.
