Attempted assassination of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner
On September 1, 2022, at 8:50 p.m. (local time in Argentina), the vice president of Argentina arrived at her home after a session in the Senate. Fernández was signing copies of her book Sinceramente outside her home, when Fernando Andrés Sabag Montiel, about 35 years old, pointed a 32-caliber Bersa gun at the president's head.  He pulled the trigger twice but none of the magazine's five serviceable cartridges were chambered. The object had a damaged serial number.
