Argentina detained a man who tried to shoot Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner on Thursday evening, President Alberto Fernández said, in what he called the “most serious incident to happen since we recovered democracy” four decades ago. Video footage from multiple angles captured a man pointing a firearm at the vice president’s head outside her home in Buenos Aires, the capital. The gun was loaded with five bullets and the man pulled the trigger, Fernández said, but the weapon did not fire. Kirchner, 69, was unharmed and was being guarded by federal law enforcement. Kirchner, a leftist leader of Argentina’s populist Peronista movement, was the country’s president from 2007 to 2015 and first lady from 2003 to 2007, during the presidency of her late husband, Nestor Kirchner. She is facing trial on corruption charges. The incident occurred Thursday outside her home in the Recoleta neighborhood of Buenos Aires, where dozens had gathered to show their support for her.
