Centro Naval club in Buenos Aires halts activities after stray bullet wounds 74‑year‑old
On Saturday, July 25, a stray bullet struck a 74‑year‑old man inside the Centro Naval club in the Núñez district of Buenos Aires. The projectile hit his left forearm, causing an exposed fracture that required surgical intervention. He was promptly attended by on‑site medical staff and transferred to Sanatorio Otamendi, where he recovered and was later declared out of danger.
Following the incident, the club’s board ordered the preventive suspension of all activities at the venue. City police and agents from the local precinct arrived, and forensic experts seized the projectile for ballistic analysis. Early investigations point to the nearby Argentine Federal Shooting Range (Tiro Federal Argentino) as the likely source of the shot. The National Criminal and Corrections Prosecutor's Office (Fiscalía Nacional en lo Criminal y Correccional N° 44) has opened a formal criminal investigation. Club members noted that similar stray‑projectile incidents have occurred previously, heightening concerns about safety in the area.
