At times, anonymous citizens become real police officers when they witness a crime in broad daylight. This is what happened to a 78-year-old retiree from Cordoba, Argentina, when he did not hesitate to intervene in the theft of a woman in the street.
This happened on Thursday in the aforementioned Argentine town when a man, the father of a commissioner in the area, witnessed two individuals robbing a woman’s truck who had gotten off for a moment to deliver a package. After the theft, the two men got into the vehicle and attempted to flee the area, but the protagonist of this story, dressed in his personal weapon, fired at them, hitting one of the thieves in the back.
When emergency services arrived in the area, they could do nothing for the life of the 30-year-old kid, whose various police records were later confirmed after the investigation by the Federal Police of Argentina. The shooter was interrogated by the authorities, and it was confirmed that his pistol was legal and had all the paperwork in order.
After the impact, the other thief crashed the car into a post and fled the area. He is currently being sought and apprehended.
