Robbers ran into a retired police officer

Argentina's crime chronicles have been marked by a high-profile incident that occurred in a suburb of Buenos Aires. Two criminals decided to steal money and other valuables from an elderly couple. However, the robbery did not go according to plan.

The pair of robbers ambushed the couple near their home in a suburb of Buenos Aires. Instead of getting any money, one of the Latino bandits took two bullets and died before paramedics arrived, while the second quickly bolted from the scene and has not yet been found.

The shooter turned out to be a 71-year-old retired police officer. An ordinary blank pistol was found next to the body of the deceased.
