Man points gun at Argentinian vice-president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner

Argentina's vice-president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, has been threatened by a man with a gun while greeting supporters outside her home in Buenos Aires.

She was not harmed and no shots were fired. The incident took place at the entrance of Fernandez de Kirchner's home, where hundreds of people had gathered in recent days to support the former president, who faces corruption charges.

The security guys should be fired. They paid more attention to the object on the floor than the loaded gun…and literally had zero response

Aimes???? You meant the man aimes, shoots and the gun misfired!!! The gun contained 5 rounds. She is the luckiest woman alive!!!

0:11 love that the main bodyguard in front of her DUCKED out of the way of the gunman instead of punching the gun out of his hand xD
Hire new security.

I like how the security being derp at that time 😂 well done tax payers of Argentina

[deejay]

Is that sort of lack of security normal in Argentina?

[cocolino]

Even after the malfunction of the gun the security still sleeping...unbelievable

[enriquesinghjr]

What about the possibility of her (and her party) also being in on it and it's all a charade?

[neilkirnon]

Safe to assume she' won't be hiring that security company in the new financial year

[antony]

Her body guards look like they were sleeping on the job. Her guardian angel saved her.👍

Most definitely an established assassination, if you watch view the footage slowly both security guards make eye contact in the direction of the assassin and standby guiding her in the direction of the assassin ensuring clear access to her. Constructed assassination, she needs to terminate her contract with the security team and hire an entirely new and unrelated agency. Another attempt is most certainly planned!

Pull the trig'er twice and the gun not fire? That's a setup, on the shooter. The bullets were snap caps. Total setup.

[Aryawirantono]

What funny about this, that the crowd is the one who chase the shooter instead of security 😂

[TkpNaga]

Poor security very poor... luckiest Amen

[GiantSandles]

If you had
One shot
Or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
In one moment
Would you capture it
Or just let it slip?

[rayven]

She had just availed her second life.She should be very thankful for it.

People around the gunman acted normally. But those people on the fringes (far right) acted like they were standing in line for coffee. Completely unaffected. Odd.

[gualteriobaez]

It's awkward the way the bodyguards acted. They don't take her out of the place or enter in her blind car. Police only walk besides her looking as normal.

Que pena que fallo. Un ladrón menos en la Argentina 🇦🇷

[New_atheist]

The gun was like her security both didn’t work 😬

[waynelynch]

Bet it is the last time she walks into a crowd.
